Yeah, I am using bash. I set that variable there in the first place since when
I hear the words "environment variable" in regards to a shell script I assume they
mean in the shell. I set it with the traditional PATH implementation; 

ACLOCAL_FLAGS=$PATH:/dir/:/another/dir/ in my .bashrc file.

And I set it like this on the command line: ACLOCAL_FLAGS=/dir/ and neither
worked. This is why I am unclear where I should set it. I am not in front of
the Apple machine right now so I can't read the script to see if it drops one
into another shell or if the script uses ksh, csh, tcsh (which is the default
under OS X) or what. I will look a little more closely and report back.
