On OSX, the path_helper command is always executed when starting a new shell.
Unfortunately, the path_helper command prepends standard system values to the
PATH variable, which means that the Sage-specific values come at the end of the
PATH variable. This causes all sorts of breakage when trying to use sage -sh
to do something.
I'm on OSX 10.6.6. Can people try the following commands:
Me too...
bash-3.2$ sage -sh

Be sure to exit when you are done and do not do anything
with other copies of Sage!
Bypassing shell configuration files ...
SAGE_ROOT=/Users/grout/sage

Here's what I see (I put an extra \n between lines, for readability):

I don't see what you see; perhaps one of us has sufficiently strange setup in
our startup files to either mask or cause the problems.
Can you try the other simpler test?
bash-3.2$ PATH='.';export PATH
bash-3.2$ /usr/libexec/path_helper -s
PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin:.";
export PATH;
Thanks,
Jason
