Hi,

If I understand the Leopard architecture correctly, you don't want to
mess around with /etc/bashrc to set additional paths. Rather, add a
new file to /etc/paths.d/ which contains _only_ the extra search path.
This should be included automatically in $PATH when you start a new
Terminal session, but won't work for R.app either.
This works fine, thank you. Please, is it possible to modify the
position where the new path will be inserted in $PATH? It is added at
the end of the string by default. I would like to insert in at the
beginning.

This looks pretty wrong to me, although I'm not really familiar with
Apple's property lists. You seem to assume that property lists
understand bash's $XXX notation for variable interpolation, which I'm
quite sure won't work. I suspect that you have to insert the FULL,
EXPANDED path list here, as printed when you type "echo $PATH" in the
Terminal.
This makes sense. Thanks for the tip. What I am not able to work out now
is to know how and why R.app is picking up this valeu for PATH...
Sys.getenv("PATH")
PATH
"$M2:$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
I am not able to figure out where am I setting this value for PATH. M2,
M2_HOME and MAVEN_OPTS, the variable I've been dealing with, are not set
in the shell...
GMXUX-Ricardo-Rodriguez:~ rrodriguez$ echo $M2
GMXUX-Ricardo-Rodriguez:~ rrodriguez$ echo $M2_HOME
GMXUX-Ricardo-Rodriguez:~ rrodriguez$ echo $MAVEN_OPTS
But all three are set in R!
Sys.getenv("PATH")
PATH
"$M2:$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
Sys.getenv("M2")
M2
"/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-2.0.9/bin"
Sys.getenv("M2_HOME")
M2_HOME
"/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-2.0.9"
Sys.getenv("MAVEN_OPTS")
MAVEN_OPTS
"-Xms256m -Xmx512m"
.Rprofile works fine and I am able to control variables with this file
but, I there is not .Rprofile, where could am I be setting these
variables? Does .RData store these values?
I would like to understand where am I wrong. Thanks for your help!
Ricardo
