Fwd: Follow up on [Qgis-user] Help for a Newbie with QGIS and GDAL

[Michael Kimmerly]

I have figured out how to get the environment.plist set up so that QGIS and
GDAL tools plugin work just fine now.

It seems that the environment.plist over-rides any $PATH already established
even if you concatenate $PATH to the end of the plist expression. So you
have to make sure all the necessary paths are expressly named in the plist,
then everything seems to work fine when running QGIS from the GUI rather
than from terminal.

Thanks again to everyone who had helped me get this sorted out.

Mike

For benefit of anyone willing to offer me some assistance, I do have Xcode
on my computer and understand the basics of plists and the editing
procedure. I am just lost on the variables and values that need to be
included to accomplish my current task.

Thanks again.

Mike

I am very much appreciating the help in identifying my issue with getting
the GDAL toolkit operational.

Unfortunately I am not a programmer nor a very capable Unix user and much of
this recent discussion has been over my capabilities. I am eager to learn
but have a rather short time frame to try and make QGIS an accepted tool in
my company for what I am trying to accomplish.

Can anyone offer me an example of how and what needs to go into the
environment.plist file. If so that would be really great and would both get
me down the road using QGIS and help with my education of these sort of
things.

Thanks in advance.

Mike
