#28400: Kile-devel @2.1b5 unable to launch any external app ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: informatique@… | Owner: nicos_pavlov@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: kile-devel ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment(by nicos_pavlov@…): I think it is indeed a problem of $PATH, but which is divided in 2 problems. First, if you launch applications with the bundle, the $PATH defined in your ./profile is typically not loaded. [[BR]] Second, KDE applications are installed as bundles in /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4, and not in /opt/local/bin. This problem is more general than kile and concerns all KDE applications, I think. I have no clean way to solve this presently. As a workaround, I made in my case a link /opt/local/bin/okular pointing to /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/okular.app/Contents/MacOS/okular, and ensured that applications bundles had /opt/local/bin in their path. I will probably send a mail to the developer mailing list, to see if a nicer and more general way could be suggested by the people handling kde4 ports to solve this issue. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28400#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
