It is very likely that your operating system contains information about
how to pass environment variables to applications not started from the
terminal.  If not then you might have to adapt PATH in Emacs by using
`setenv'.  The former method is usually better, though, because it
applies to other applications besides Emacs as well.  So this is more an
Apple problem than an Emacs problem.
