Adding a new directory to the PATH environment variable does not add
the programs in that diretory.

What I tried:

emacs -Q from awesome(windows manager)
M-x eshell

$ addpath /home/marcelo/bin/pg_prefix/bin
$ ls /home/marcelo/bin/pg_prefix/bin | grep pg_ctl
pg_ctl
$ which pg_ctl
which: no pg_ctl in
(/home/marcelo/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/marcelo/bin/pg_prefix/bin)
$ echo $eshell-path-env
/home/marcelo/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
$ echo $PATH
/home/marcelo/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/marcelo/bin/pg_prefix/bin
