I have gimp at /usr/local/bin/gimp. It launches from the command line.
So I try to add gimp as an Application. If I select this item, I get
"/usr/local/bin/gimp: gimp-1.2: command not found" in the Console log.
gimp is calling gimp-1.2, but /usr/local/bin/ is not on the search
path. It doesn't help that my .xinitrc contains these lines:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
I recall there is a hack to set environment variables upon login by
creating a file with the name .macosx. Can somebody remind me about
this?
this is exactly the problem I have,
though my stuff is installed at /sw/bin (fink).
I thought I solved it by adding the path info in /etc/profile.
this solved many things but it did not impact the x11 application menu.
I've been looking around in the /etc folder for things to update with
path info.
