pg_config problem on Solaris 10u7 X64

Hi,
 I am trying to build RPostgreSQL on Solaris 10u7 X64, but have problems with pg_config, the configure script of RPostgreSQL checks for pg_config and got “checking for pg_config... /usr/bin/pg_config”. In Solaris 10u7 X64, three versions of PostgreSQL are installed, there are in /usr/postgres/8.2(8.2.9) and /usr/postgres/8.3(8.3.3), the corresponding bin files are in /usr/postgres/<version>/bin and /usr/postgres/<version>/bin/amd64, and the libraries in /usr/bin is 8.1.11 and it seems a 32bit, and I can’t find the 64bit version bins for 8.1.11.
My question is how to let RPostgreSQL configure script find the 64bit pg_config.

My first guess would be to try changing your PATH before running configure.

Yes, you should set your PATH to have /usr/postgres/<version>/bin/64
before /usr/bin, if you want to use the 64 bit pg_config for 8.2 or
8.3.

I think 8.1 was only included as 32 bit in Solaris.
