PyCharm not 'seeing' OSX environment variable

Hello,

I've seen some posts related to this same subject in the forum already, but I'm aiming at a slightly different question in the end...

All of a sudden, PyCharm (2.5.1, Mac OS X Lion) is not being able to start my Django projects. Nothing has changed on the PyCharm/Python/Django sides, but there was, indeed, some 'chowning' going on in the last few days for my ~/ and /usr/local directories, so this must be it.

In any case, I have this environment setting needed for my projects:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/

It worked before, so I'm assuming PyCharm somehow could 'see' it. Now it does not anymore. I already checked my ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, it's there. And I can workaround the problem if I start PyCharm from the bash shell. I also can make it run if I set the variable by using launchctl setenv, so I do have workarounds, but I wanted to restore things as before, or at least understand why PyCharm is not seeing my settings anymore.

Is there any known issue related to file access when it comes to environment.plist? Where else does PyCharm look for environment variables?

Any tip is appreciated,

thanks in advance,

Rubens
