Didn't have them all, just PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but added the others and
that didn't solve the problem.
the /opt/postgres/pgaccess directory does not exist on my system.
And within the /opt/postgresql directory I can not find a "show" command.
Should it be present, or a symlink or is it a function from a library?
