on the system which does not work on the default path "/usr/bin/" (default path)

I can not push the path to env, because the constructor of env creates the error message.
After the constructor call I set the PATH, but I can not construct env, because the if I set

tools = ["default", "gettext"]

the constructor crashs, if I remove it, env is created and I can work with them, but then I can not
call the Translate builder etc
