I use neither Mac nor Python, but as pgAdmin 4 is Python-based I'd hazard a wild guess that it's doing something to include paths (or whatever the relevant term is).

Sadly, I don’t have a Mac at the moment so I can’t investigate the internals of “brew switch”; that does tell me something though – if “brew switch” fixes the problem then figuring out what it’s changing when it switches may help trace the actual issue.
In varying orders of possibilities:
1. Does “brew switch” have a “let’s be RIDICULOUSLY verbose” command line switch or environment variable?
2. I think OS X/Darwin have “strace” but I know that the BSD subsystems have the equivalent if that’s a Linux-ism?
3. Does OS X have Dtrace?
4. I wonder if it would be possible to see a snapshot of the underlying /usr/local (probably) before and after a “brew switch” (zfs snapshtos but I don’t think OS X is usually sitting on ZFS but if you have a full backup of /usr e.g. by OS X’s backup manager or you do daily backups [!] it may be possible?)
Given that “brew switch” does fix it, as you say, if you can figure out what it’s changing (I suspect it’s symlinking .dlyibs and .sos and other libraries) and then find out what other thing is changing that.

Hi,
Yes I do have two versions of plpgsql.so but it wasn't a problem before.
>locate plpgsql.so
/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.5.3/lib/postgresql/plpgsql.so
/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.6.2/lib/postgresql/plpgsql.so
Previously I performed backup using the earlier version of pgAdmin 4 and before that I used pgAdmin 3.
All terminals are affected immediately after running the backup tool: before and after reboot. The "brew switch" command is the only thing I've found that fixes it.
I don't really know how brew works though. Do you think there something I can do to fix my set-up?
Cheers,
Conor

I have some experience with perlbrew/brew, which is a package manager of sorts that supports having multiple concurrent installations of different versions of something, and also or typically builds from source. The "switch" command basically updates some symlinks for some installed thing so that a specific version is referenced by them. For example, if you had versions X and Y of package Foo installed, you use "brew switch" to indicate that when you invoke "Foo" you get either version X or Y. $ brew help switch brew switch name version: Symlink all of the specific version of name's install to Homebrew prefix. It would appear that something was changing your symlinks. Or possibly a local shell path was being altered. I can't tell you what is making these changes though. -- Darren Duncan

I find the only way to fix the problem is to run "brew switch postgresql

I'll tell you what that command does.
I have some experience with perlbrew/brew, which is a package manager of sorts that supports having multiple concurrent installations of different versions of something, and also or typically builds from source.
The "switch" command basically updates some symlinks for some installed thing so that a specific version is referenced by them. For example, if you had versions X and Y of package Foo installed, you use "brew switch" to indicate that when you invoke "Foo" you get either version X or Y.
$ brew help switch
brew switch name version:
Symlink all of the specific version of name's install to Homebrew prefix.
It would appear that something was changing your symlinks. Or possibly a local shell path was being altered.
I can't tell you what is making these changes though.

I have no further specific advice to offer.
