Unfortunately manipulating the environment.plist screws up a whole lot other applications, including my Aquamacs - R functioning (X11 does not start, the help does not start), and the Word Plugin of Mendeley (it does not execute).
There is a web page saying that environment.plist does not work with applications launched from spotlight, this applies to all applications launched from the application folder also, I guess. http://www.digitaledgesw.com/node/31 So the solution given so far does not work for me. As soon as I rename the environment.plist file, the other software are functioning fine again. Best, Karin.
