           Summary: Okular does not open DVI on Mac OS X because of an
                    incomplete PATH
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fink Packages
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: DVI backend
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dankoilik at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                OS X
Installed from:    Mac OS X (Fink) Packages

When started from Finder -> Applications -> MacPorts -> KDE4, Okular complains,
when trying to open a DVI file, that it can't find the kpsewhich program. In
the Details panel, one sees that this is because the PATH variable is PATH:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

With MacPorts, by default, all programs are located in /opt/local/bin. Hence,
if I open Okular from terminal using "open -a Okular", the DVI can be opened
without problems.

In my .profile the PATH variable includes /opt/local/bin, hence I don't know
where Okular gets its PATH variable from.
