Well from your previous post "/etc/postgresql/9.4/main." That would 
indicate there is also a 9.4 package installed or at least its conf 
files. At the command line do:

pg_lsclusters

two different locations. I guess I need to know which one to keep. When 
I enter SHOW config_file;, I get the location 
/usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf. There is a pg_hba.conf file in 
there too. Anyways, the version that I installed from source is version 
12. The setting in postgresql.conf is listen_addresses = ‘*’ and the 
port is 5432. listen_addresses is uncommented but port is commented out.

What do you see if in psql you do?:

select version();

In your screenshot for pg_settings the value for listen_addresses is 
'localhost' and the source is default. That would indicate to me either 
listen_addresses is not uncommented or the server was not restarted. In 
any case that would be why you cannot connect remotely. Also the 
sourcefile is NULL. This is either because the value is not coming from 
a file or because you where not a superuser when you did the select on 
pg_settings. Can you run the select as a superuser?
