This may be an effect of the horribly baroque rules for which startup
scripts are sourced by shells (and /especially/ bash).

Where do you set the PATH you show above? In ~/.bashrc or in
~/.bash_profile or somewhere else?

Depending on your environment, distro etc. shells spawned indirectly
by GUI programs do not always get the benefit of these startup
scripts.

Maybe the next step in testing should be to run TeXstudio itself from
the command line (ie. from inside an xterm or such), instead of
clicking an icon or whatever.
