Given that you already know your tarball extraction mangled the output,
perhaps you should delete the copy you extracted and start again using a
trustworthy tree extracted using GNU tar or similar. It's reasonable to
assume that other problems you encounter have the same root cause - your
tar program's mangling of the tree.

Try:

tar xvzf postgresql-whatever.tar.gz
