A good one! But alas, we have them drag and drop a kicad/ directory onto a
symlink to /Library/Application\ Support/, and it does a popup asking for
admin privileges. (We also have this in the README right there when you
install).
It's certainly got me puzzled!

Hi folks!
A user is having a problem with the latest OS X RC2 release, and I haven't
been able to figure it out.
Quick background:
There is a KiCad package, and a KiCad Extras package. The KiCad Extras
package has a modules/ directory in it, and it has all the footprints.
It's for offline use.
Maybe it is a 'first time use problem' - maybe no kicad directory in the
/Library/Application Support/. It may require a privilege password to
add this directory the first time.
A thought anyway.

As far as I can remember, if you had something wrong in there before the
environment-variable changes Wayne did, it didn’t vanish with the changes… you
had to manually change via Preferences => Path Configuration (or,
I asked him for Preferences => Path Configuration in the last email. He

He doesn't have footprints available, but it looks like that's due to a
networking issue and Github footprints? Not sure.
I am almost willing to chalk this up to it being a fluke, especially if we
I am glad I am not the only one puzzled by this.
I also searched the plists, because at one point we were putting
environment variables in there, but that stopped over a year ago I thought.
Oh the other hand--
Is it possible he had some other error, and saw the debug messages that say

I also don’t see any reason for what you described.
The SEARCH_STACK stuff should not be used in pcbnew any more, the other one in
pgm_base.cpp looks good IMHO. I can’t remember any other place where this could
be a problem except there is already some path slipping in from outside of
KiCad.
I didn't see it in his comments but the environment variable config
dialog highlights environment variables that are already defined when
kicad starts so they take precedence over the user configuration by
design. Is it possible that he has KISYSMOD already set?
