If I open a terminal and try to run psql or createdb or any of the
commands I get this error:

Well I got it from a link on postgresql.org. Of course it does say
that it is a beta installer.

The package is improperly linked so the command-line tools are useless
on any machine other than the buildfarm setup. Dave Page (CC'd) is
apparently the maintainer.
