This was set in ~/.bashrc

This got me pointed in the right direction. The problem seems to be a 
difference in where Kile gets it's path info vs. where Gnome apps. get 
their path from. Kile is KDE and it looks like it gets it from 
/etc/profile, not ~/.bashrc. I set the path in /etc/profile (and removed 
it from ~/.bashrc). Now Kile is happy and so am I. Thanks so much for 
your help!
