I have this for my ".profile":

//================================================================
. /sw/bin/init.sh
BOOST_ROOT=~/Documents/Boost/boost_cvs/boost
TOOLS=darwin
ALL_LOCATE_TARGET=~/Documents/Boost/binaries
export BOOST_ROOT TOOLS ALL_LOCATE_TARGET
//================================================================

But none of it seems to be registering:

//================================================================
bash-2.05a$ env
PWD=/Users/daryle
TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal
USER=daryle
CVS_RSH=ssh
TERMCAP=��׀
LANG=en_US
DISPLAY=localhost
LOGNAME=daryle
SHLVL=1
SHELL=/bin/bash
HOME=/Users/daryle
SSH_ASKPASS=/Applications/SSHPassKey.app/Contents/MacOS/SSHPassKey
TERM=vt100
TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=81
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Developer/Tools:/ 
Library/Tcl/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/Users/daryle/bin
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
_=/usr/bin/env
//================================================================

I have the additions to PATH listed in my ".bash_login" file. When I  
put the Boost environmental variables in that same file, they were  
ignored.
