Broken by default on OS X w/ devetools - unresolvable ctags conflict

[lilith]

I've put several hours into getting CTags working. brew install ctags works great, but the instructions for getting that version of ctags to be used by this package are incorrect.
OS X Apps aren't running ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, or /etc/paths before locating 'ctags'.

Furthermore, providing a CTags.sublime-settings file

{
    "ctags_command"   :  "/usr/local/bin/ctags -R -f .tags"
}

Doesn't fix the problem, still getting

EnvironmentError: (u'ctags -R -f .tags', 1, 'ctags: illegal option -- R\nusage: ctags [-BFadtuwvx] [-f tagsfile] file ...\n')

I can generate the ctags manually at the command-line just fine.

It appears that the latest version of OS X isolates all applications with their own PATH variable - no more system-wide path.

Starting Sublime Text via iTerm/Terminal via subl permits CTags to work.

The error on the home page delayed me a few hours. This works for now:

{
 "command"   :  "/usr/local/bin/ctags -R -f .tags"
}

Some accurate guidance for all the other folks on OS X (who have ever installed Developer Tools) would be great.

I just came across the same issue and I agree with @nathanaeljones that some guidance for people with Xcode / Developer Tools would be very helpful in the Readme for example.
I might add this some day if I feel like it 😏
