You can also run "git daemon" passing --exec-path as a git argument. This should help. For instance, I use the following configuration in inetd.conf (SunOS 5.9):

   git   stream   tcp   nowait   gituser   /usr/local/bin/git \
     git --exec-path=/usr/local/bin daemon --inetd \
     --base-path=/export/home/gituser/git /export/home/gituser/git
