Right. Before I tried by putting the PYTHONPATH just before TEXMFHOME  
but it didn't work. When I try again, it gives PYTHONPATH: Undefined  
variable.

[lxplus307] ~/scratch0/Rivetlocal $ setenv PYTHONPATH /afs/cern.ch/ 
user/s/ssen/scratch0/Rivetlocal/local/lib64/python2.4/site-packages: 
$PYTHONPATH
PYTHONPATH: Undefined variable.
[lxplus219] ~/scratch0/Rivetlocal $ echo $PYTHONPATH
PYTHONPATH: Undefined variable.

But actually I have the things there;

[lxplus307] ~/scratch0/Rivetlocal/local/lib64/python2.4/site-packages  
$ ll

When I look at the environments on my MAC, it is almost the same;

pb-d-128-141-142-14:RivetLocal raskapov$ export PYTHONPATH=/Users/ 
raskapov/RivetLocal/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
pb-d-128-141-142-14:RivetLocal raskapov$ echo $PYTHONPATH

The only difference-- lxplus uses python 2.4, MAC uses python 2.5 .  
Does it make difference? I mean could it be the source of the problem ?

Thanks
Sercan
