Hi Edward,
there are Mac Apps which ask the user for PATH variables, e.g. the text
editor TextMate:
http://markushanses.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/advanced.png
There is already a file with all the $PATHs in the users home directory: it's
~/.bash_profile, the profile of the standard Shell in Mac OS X. Maybe this
makes a good default value.
Apart from that, these MacOS *.app bundles can be opened by
$ open -a <Application Name>
Maybe this is some inspiration ;)
Cheers
Martin

Hi,
I've been thinking about a solution for this problem, but it's not
easy. I do not know how to get the environmental variable $PATH into
an App, as this is only designed to be in the environment of a
terminal. Maybe there is another way on a Mac to define where Apps
search for other programs? But I have a feeling that the App is
designed to be stand-alone and complete isolated from everything else
on the system. There are two solutions that I can think of. The
first would be to design a new part of relax which reads a
configuration file from your home directory. relax would then have a
'file association' dialog in the 'tools' menu. The only problem is
that reading a config file from the home directory might be equally
confusing for a Mac app! This would require a lot of research into
how Mac apps behave, and how the pInfo file needs to be modified. The
other solution would be manually specify the full path each time :S
Unfortunately, I think I need more time to think of a permanent
solution. Maybe there is some Mac user out there who knows of such a
solution?
Cheers,
Edward

Hi Edward,
as the MacOS relax package is self-contained, relax can't see that I've
installed grace system-wide. The same is probably true for e.g. PyMol.
Where do I have to place a link inside the package, .i.e where is the PATH
of the .app-Package?
I tried placing a link inside Frameworks/, but this didn't help.
Cheers
