[OS X TeX] Problems with TEXINPUTS

Hi!

I still have problems, but from my first message (se bellow), I made 
some small progress. My problems are clearly due to TEXINPUTS settings:

  * Displaying $TEXINPUTS at the begining of my .profile it contains a
    stupid value (see previous message bellow).
  * /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc are doing nothing with TEXINPUTS.
  * Just to test, I put in .profile:
    export
    TEXINPUTS="./:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-config/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-config/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/generic//"
  * which after sourcing gives
      kpsewhich -show-path=tex
    ./:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-config/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-config/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/tex/generic//:/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/generic//
  * With this patch, latex works in commande line. Great!
  * but, TexShop and LaTeXiT are still out of order.
    I guess they don't consider TEXINPUT and get their environnement
    variables elswere

Does anyone knows where TEXINPUTS can be set if not in /etc/bashrc, 
/etc/profile, ~/.profile ?
How to fix this configuration problem ?

Thanks in advance

Philippe
