As Peter Dyballa already said, looking into ~/Library/texmf doesn't  
come from any ~/.bashrc, it's built-in inside gwTeX. It's defined  
through

	/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf
	/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

and is all explained in

	/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/README.howtexfindsfiles

In particular, this document mentions the use of kpsewhich to know  
where pdflatex looks for files of extension .tex (and .sty, .cls  
etc.). Try

	kpsewhich --progname=pdflatex --show-path=.tex

yielding here
