Hmm ... works fine for me in both 8.2.5 and HEAD, which means either
we fixed it since 8.2.4 (but I see nothing relevant in the CVS logs),

One thing to be aware of is that pg_config's path output is not just
hardwired strings; the paths are computed relative to the location of
the pg_config executable. So if you'd moved the executable from where
it was supposed to be installed, possibly that would explain it.
I didn't move any executables manually, so I don't think that's it. I
did take a look through the pg_config source files, so I can see how the
path could be mangled if, e.g., I was somehow calling a pg_config in the
wrong location. I also checked pg_config_paths.h, which contained the
correct paths.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that the pg_config being used was the
correct one. I was particularly alert to this issue, as my first
suspicion was that it could be some other installation of postgres that
was "interfering" with my installation. I trawled through the
environment variables pretty thoroughly (and changed them about), for
this reason, but didn't find anything to lead me to suspect this to be
the case - other than the problem persisting.
It disappeared, finally, after I uninstalled postgres, removed all files
and then rebuilt everything from scratch, and reinstalled.
If that's not it, could we see the complete output of pg_config,
especially the full list of configure options? I'm also wondering if
you tried a VPATH build; if so, what were the full paths of the source
and build directories? (That one's just grasping at a straw; I don't
*think* VPATH should have anything to do with this...)
No VPATH build.
Since rebuilding that particular build, (and more recently upgrading
8.2.5 yesterday), I have not been able to reproduce the bug
(unfortunately, I didn't think to save any of the old files when
rebuilding). So, for the moment, I have nothing to add on this issue.
