Tried to install git on a second machine, installation ran through, but not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.done install of git 1.7.0.6 on a Mac Pro (install looks fine (all stuff 
installed)) 
2. get -bash: git: command not found
3. install works fine on a MacBookpro, can't find any difference, even the 
evironment.plist 
seemes to be identical

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

tried git giu, git status, etc. always 
get -bash: git: command not found

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

git version 1.6.4.1 on the MacBookPro, 1.7.0.6 on a Mac Pro

OS on both 10.6.3

Please provide any additional information below.

Any test procedure, to understand the install problems would be nice .

your /etc/paths.d path is not being loaded.  

Your /etc/profile should contain this:

{{{
if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then
    eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
fi

}}}

if it does, it's not working. I don't know why, but some configuration on your
machine is likely obstructing it.

no idea why they are different, they have pretty much the same software 
packages installed ....,
