Hi,
Where does R.app, when launched from the Dock, get its environment
variables from, including PATH?
From the launchd process (or LS in general, details depend on the
version of OS X you use).
I've tried setting the PATH in ~/.bash_profile and /etc/paths, but
when
launched from the Dock, it doesn't get through:
system("echo $PATH")
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
That is as expected since launchd doesn't read those. You can use
Environment.plist for processes started by LS, see

If I start R.app from Terminal using
/Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R, it does show up:
system("echo $PATH")
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/sw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/
X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin/:/usr/local/bin
I'm using R 2.7.1 on Leopard 10.5.4.
Thanks,
Gad
