I wont to run blender2.49 and I have compiled and installed python 2.6.6 under /usr/local/bin and when I start blender in console it says 

Compiled with Python version 2.6.2.
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]

when I run python in console it says python 2.6.6 How can I add python to library path or $pytonhome ?

On OSX, open a terminal session. In your user directory (e.g. mac/users/doeke) make sure you have a file named .bash_profile If it is not there then create one.

Open terminal.

sudo nano .bash_profile

add:

export PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/bin/python_whatever_the_fing_path_is

press ctrl + x to quit and hit y to save the file.

Now log in and out or reboot. Hopefully it is fixed now.
