I tried that, and it doesn't seem to work.  ~/.profile already
includes the /opt/local/bin path, and there isn't a ~/.bashrc.  I
edited the ~/.profile to look like the one for Python (with the
appropriate /opt/local/bin path, of course), since that one seems to
work (the python libraries show up when I run the "env" command), and
it still didn't have any affect, so I just changed it back.  Am I
doing something wrong?
