Put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin on your PATH. The default PATH includes ONLY Apple-installed components. This is an "issue" with any third party software that has a command-line interface, as they all (should be, anyway) install to /usr/local/bin. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
