Many installations of sshd do not invoke your shell as the login shell when you directly run programs; what this means is that if your login shell is bash, only .bashrc is read and not .bash_profile.

Thanks so much. I’ve been battling the ‘expat.h is missing’ error for over a week now. After installing expat on OS X 10.3, Git is good-to-go.
Thanks again!

I’ve got to install git on 10.4, the only thing is that you need to add /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to a .bashrc instead of .basr_profile or /etc/profile because Many installations of sshd do not invoke your shell as the login shell when you directly run programs; what this means is that if your login shell is bash, only .bashrc is read and not .bash_profile. As a workaround, make sure .bashrc sets up $PATH so that you can run git-receive-pack program.
