I've installed pg from the www.kyngchaos.com site. After installation, I've
checked the $PATH setting in terminal by $ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/binbin:/sbin:=
/usr/X11/bin.

Notice the wrong 'binbin' setting. How to correct this?

If the problem was caused by that installer, you'll have to contact
them to fix their package. FYI, the Postgres packages for OS X
supported here can be found at:

That should be easy enough to override for just your user with an
entry in your ~/.bash_profile . If you want to fix the source of the
problem, you might have to dig around to figure out which PATH
declaration is screwy. You could start looking at /etc/launchd.conf,
/etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile,
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, and so on.
