TexShop and System Variables

In order to use the system environment variables from Graphics Program as TexShop, user needs to create an environment.plist file inside the ~/.MacOSX (case is important) directory. This file need to be in the xml format recognized by the Os X application:

<?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>TEXINPUTS</key>
        <string>.//:</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Every single variable has to be specified as in the example.
To verify that the file is correct, use the preference editor. From a terminal insert the command

open .MacOSX/environment.plist

If the program open the file, the file is OK, else you have a problem. In this case, I suggest to download this archive and explode it in the ~ (homedir).
