Re: call-system-showing-output

My guess is that the value of PATH environment variable is not identical 
in your interactive shell and the shell employed by Lispworks.  To find 
out, try 'echo $PATH' in both contexts.  Processes normally inherit 
their environment variables from the parent process, at process creation 
time.  Note: I do not use Macs/OS X, but I'm guessing that OS X behave 
similarly to other Unix-like OSs in this respect.

best,

Klaus.

Yes, I'm convinced this is the problem, but I'm still not sure how to solve it.

Anyone know how to setup environment variables for programs launched from the Finder/Dock on OS X? Or customized the shell context used by call-system-showing-output?
