Unless a program is launched in a Terminal window, your .profile (and other similar files) aren't read. OSX doesn't work like Linux or Solaris; it doesn't launch the GUI from a shell environment. There are ways to get environment variables into the GUI, such as described here: http://tinyurl.com/8yvk9 -dan -- logic (n.): the art of being wrong with confidence. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
