I have a website in a shared Linux hosting that uses Ghostscript. I use by php exec function that executes command line functions, gs commands to render PDF files, by simple gs commands.

gs -h (will display info)

However, in my Mac OS X MAMP web server gs commands are only executed by full paths.

/usr/local/bin/gs -h (will display info)

How do I configure my local system so "php" user">user will find gs (and other libraries) without full path?

EDIT: Command line by Terminal does not need full path either. The problem is only when trying to execute gs by exec PHP function.
