[Qt-creator] Evaluation on Mac OSX (Eike Ziller) Successful work around found

[Eike Ziller]

Hi Michael,

I *can* change the PATH used for applications with an ~/.MacOS/ 
environment.plist file of the form

<?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>/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/ 
usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin</string>
</dict>
</plist>

The entry above for the PATH should be more or less the default path.  
I also haven't found a way to just add components to the existing/ 
default PATH.

*Note that you have to logout and login to make changes to the  
environment.plist file effective.*

Currently I suspect that you have entries in your environment.plist  
file that change the path and make problems. Could you try to  
temporarily move that file away, e.g
1) cd ~
2) mv .MacOS .MacOS_tmp
3) logout
4) login
5) start QtCreator

Thanks,

++ Eike
