If you want to install perl modules separate from the install process
for RT, you could check your package repositories or metacpan.org for
the upstream source.

Perhaps try symlinking that to /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin. The Debian
package puts pg_config in /usr/bin.

I would be shocked if 9.4 could not work with 4.2. I wouldn't worry
about this detail.
