The problem is that MacOS has multiple ways to set $PATH. When you
log in to the GUI, one way is used, when you start a Terminal, it
starts a shell, which reads its shell init files, and thus uses a
second way.
I'm guessing that the path is set in the shell init files, but not
when you log in via the GUI.
