[postgis-users] QGIS Plugin PostGIS Manager

[Florian Beyerbach]

hi,
in Mac OSX Lion there is nomore file/folder ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
i also don´t know exactly in which file i had to add the environment variables.
in the users home directory i found the files:
.profile
.bash_profile
these files are empty

with the command "echo $PATH" i get the following environment variables:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-1.5/:/usr/local/pgsql/bin

i found these in the file:
/etc/paths

and under the folder 
/etc/paths.d/

but these are really not for all applications. i hope i can find the real files where i can put in environment variables for the whole system. any idea?

here i found some tips:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7501678/set-environment-variables-on-mac-os-x-lion

i followed your tipp and starteted qgis from the terminal and everything went fine with the postgis manager.

the following code in the QGis Python Console don´t solve the problem:
> import os
> path = os.getenv("PATH")
> pgpath = "/usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib/postgis-1.5/:/usr/local/pgsql-9.1/bin:/usr/local/pgsql-9.1/bin"
> path = pgpath if path == None or path == "" else path + os.pathsep + pgpath
> os.putenv("PATH", path)



regards

Florian
