I can fix the problem by adding the appropriate variables to ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. But then I have two files to maintain, / etc/bashrc and ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. I would prefer not to have to do that, unless that is the expected way.
One possible solution to this is make bashrc the "client" of ~/.MacOSX/ environment.plist. You can use constructs like for example this: export PATH=$(defaults read "${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment" PATH) For whatever variable you need. When $HOME is set, then the environment of the logging in user will be set. IMO this should not be necessary, because up to Leopard ~/.MacOSX/ environment.plist is read when you log in. Then all processes inherit this environment. The X clients are a bit different and used to inherit their environment from X11.app – until recently! The defaults command can be used anywhere else. -- Greetings Pete There are three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who cannot.
