I have just experienced the same issue with a Mac salve. I couldn't
figure out the reason, but a workaround is to define the PATH variable
in the jenkins configuration for that slave (environment variables
section) with the correct entries. This is automatically propagated to
all jobs on that slave then. You can even reuse the existing path like
foo:${PATH}.
