I installed MacAqsis.
the readme says to:

For MacOSX:
----------------

Install Aqsis under your own account eg:
/Users/<account>/Aqsis-0.7.2
in your .tcshrc
add the following lines

setenv AQSIS_BASE_PATH /Users/<account>/MacAqsis-0.7.2
setenv AQSIS_CONFIG_PATH /Users/<account>/MacAqsis-0.7.2

Edit .aqsisrc to reflect your <account> in order to find the shaders/images
cp .aqsisrc to /Users/<account>
source /Users/<account>/.tcshrc

i did all this but it only works after i 'source .tcshrc' if i close the window i have to 'source .tcshrc' again in order to get it to work, also it doesn't seem to find the shaders.

anyone have any ideas?

Is tcsh your shell? You haven't switched to say Bash or zsh per chance, have you?

tcsh is my shell.
echo $shell reports /bin/tcsh.

edit: i got it working and wrote up what i did, incase anyone else wants to play with aqsis.

Installing MacAqsis-0.7.2

1. Install the folder 'MacAqsis-0.7.2' into your home folder. (e.g. /Users/<yourusername> where <yourusername> is your username.)

2. Open the terminal and type 'pico .tcshrc' (without the quotes) and add the following: (where <yourusername> is your username.)

# MacAqsis config.
setenv AQSIS_BASE_PATH /Users/<yourusername>/MacAqsis-0.7.2
setenv AQSIS_CONFIG_PATH /Users/<yourusername>/MacAqsis-0.7.2

(e.g. setenv AQSIS_BASE_PATH /Users/marshall/MacAqsis-0.7.2)

To save the file press control-o and to exit pico press control-x.

3. Type into the terminal 'mkdir -p ~/library/init/tcsh' (without the quotes) then 'cd ~/library/init/tcsh' then 'pico path' and add the following line:

set path = (~/bin ~/MacAqsis-0.7.2 $path)

Again to save the file press control-o and to exit pico press control-x.

4. Open a new terminal window and type 'aqsis' if you get 'aqsis: command not found' recheck the installation. if you get a blank line and nothing happens aqsis has been found by tcsh. To exit press control-c.
