Hi,
I use pstricks via pdftricks (more precisely, H. Schulz version). I have installed MacTeX 2016 and recently Mac OS 10 Sierra.
Now, pdfcrop (called by Schulz's pdftricks) fails to find gs and gives an error.

With the terminal, pdfcrop finds gs in /usr/local/bin/

But used with pdftricks, pdfcrop doesn’t search gs in /usr/local/bin/

How cans I tell pdfcrop to look for gs in the right place?
(parenthetically, I have made a symbolic link and all is now OK but I do not understand why pdfcrop looks for gs in so strange directories)
