right, the client only.
my path is correctly set, resarting the computer helps.
i'm now able to connect using tcp/ip :
$ psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U yt -d yt_tests
psql (9.2.1)
Type "help" for help.

yt_tests=# CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;
CREATE EXTENSION
yt_tests=# select unaccent('Hôtel');
unaccent
----------
Hotel
(1 row)

may be something was wrong with postmaster.pid and the socket ?
unclear to me but it "seems" to work right now.
