IIUC, the basic problem here is that on the mac, many users don't start racket
from a terminal window, which means that there isn't a $PATH value to inherit.
One solution to this is (as I do) to simply start drracket from the
command-line. In this case, you inherit the $PATH environment just fine. I
conjecture that you (Jakub) do this as well.
Unfortunatelly you're right. I must have used 'open <racket-file>.rkt'
to start this particular racket session. When I start it from the Dock I
get the usual GUI PATH. Sorry for the confusion.
That said:
1. Trying several popular paths is probably a good idea (an example of
worse is better)
2. Running the command in a subshell (one obtained from /etc/passwd or
Terminal.app configuration) should also work (but requires you to do
argument quoting)
