You could try to run any of these "engines" from TeXShop:


#!/bin/bash
#
#       @(#) env-bash.engine
#
#       Time-stamp: <2006-11-14 23:24:25 pete>
#
# Just an "indicator" of the environment in which a TeXShop's engine  
runs jobs.
#
env | sort

#!/bin/csh
#
#       @(#) env-csh.engine
#
#       Time-stamp: <2006-11-14 23:24:25 pete>
#
# Just an "indicator" of the environment in which a TeXShop's engine  
runs jobs.
#
env | sort
echo  
"####################################################################### 
#"
set | sort


The first "engine" is meant for those that have bash as login shell,  
the second one is meant for those that use tcsh as login shell.  
Those, who have different login shell, surely are clever enough to  
understand the principle and adjust the scripts in case they need to  
use one.

How to install:

- open a Terminal;
- start to type (you can copy&paste): cat > ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ 
env-bash.engine
- then press RETurn;
- now copy and paste the contents of such an "engine" into Terminal;
- terminate the input process with ^D, i.e. press ctrl and D (no  
shift key) simultaneously;
- finish installation by invoking on Terminal's command line: chmod o 
+x /Library/TeXShop/Engines/env-bash.engine

In case you prefer another login shell, then just change "bash" with  
whatever you prefer.

How to use:

- open afterwards TeXShop;
- set in Preferences that the Console window is *always* open, not  
only in case of an error;
- open *any* *TeX file;
- select your new env-*.engine;
- press the run button.

Now you have in TeXShop's Console window your environment listed and  
sorted. I *think* it will show what TeXShop also sees ...
