Re: [photran] Installing Photran on Macintosh -- help needed with Path environment variable

Hi,

Just a reminder that if you are launching Eclipse from the Finder (by double clicking on it), then the PATH is not obtained from the shell or /etc/paths. Instead, it's obtained from ~/.MacOSX/ environment.plist. The format of the environment.plist file is as follows (change the path appropriately):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd ">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>PATH</key>
<string>/usr/local/mpi/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/Developer/Tools:/usr/texbin:/Users/greg/bin</ string>
</dict>
</plist>

Cheers,

Greg

That is weird. If /usr/local/gfortran/bin is on the PATH and the gfortran executable is /usr/local/gfortran/bin/gfortran, it should be finding it from Eclipse.

I forgot... are you trying a Standard Make or Managed Make project?

If you haven't, please try the tutorial for a Standard Make project here -- http://www.eclipse.org/photran/documentation.php#sm -- (you will need to use "gfortran" instead of "g95" in the Makefile) and see if it finds gfortran. Also, if you type the lines
   echo $PATH
   which gfortran
immediately after the "all:" line (except start them with a tab, not spaces), Eclipse will print the PATH it's operating under and, if gfortran can be found, its path.

Sorry you're having so much trouble with this. I haven't heard of any Mac users having problems like this before.

Jeff
