I'm guessing so.. I'd renamed my install dir from pgsql (which is in the
path) to pg84, then done a 'make install'.

As a test I renamed my pgsql (which contains 9) to pg9 (so its not in
the path) then did a make check and it worked ok.

Then I renamed pg84 to pgsql (so 8.4 is in the path) and 'make check'
fails again.
