It seems your uninstallation dint worked well. as you still have apt-get
installed pg_config which might be possible if you tried uninstalling
before stopping postgres server. (I am not so sure about it).

You can include /opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin folder to your PATH environment
variable to have one-click installers pg_config being used in global
scope. (Make sure you remove the apt-gets installation correctly)
