    This is just a shot in the dark, but try typing 'echo $PATH' without the
    quotes, both in the straight text shell and in the gui terminal. I seem
    to recall that the path and other environment variables are set
    differently in X vs. CLI. If the paths are the same, try running 'env' in
    each environment, and see if all of your other environmental variables are
    the same.
