I newer tried to move database on other machine that way, so I do not know
all the konsequences, but it looks to me that you created some kind of mess
with PGDATA and PGLIB directories. PGLIB directory should contain library
with plpgsql. I suggest you to connect to database with psql and try this :
DROP PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' CASCADE;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION plpgsql_call_handler() RETURNS LANGUAGE_HANDLER
AS 'PGLIB/plpgsql.so', 'plpgsql_call_handler' LANGUAGE 'c';
CREATE TRUSTED PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' HANDLER "plpgsql_call_handler"
LANCOMPILER 'PL/pgSQL';
where PGLIB is path to postgres libraryes.
If this fails, post back the error message, so we can see the exact reason
why CREATE LANGUAGE fails.
Regards !
