If you're using Z shell, then it's /etc/zprofile. (I'd guess that ksh, csh, and tcsh, all have their own files as well, though I don't know if anyone uses those much anymore.)

I'm up and running now! You should also mention to people to download the pgadmin app, its brilliant. Thanks so much.

It worked "out of the box". A million 'thank you's! In fact, I've written a simplified tutorial based on your work, with some extra explanations for novices, which I thought I would upload some time, giving full credit and a link to your page right at the top. Would that be alright or would that be internet plagiarism? Greg, this was excellent. It worked “out of the box”. A million ‘thank you’s!

Any thoughts? I’m not able to find PATH= in the /etc/profile

Like susan above, here is my profile text:

# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then
eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
fi

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
fi

However, unlike her I do not have another profile folder that I can find.

Any thoughts?
