What was the variable name?  Was it overwritten, or unset?  

If you can privide the code snippet that wasn't working I think this
would be easier to debug.

The right way to set the environment for everyone is to create a small
script which sets the variable and name is
/etc/profile.d/something.sh.  When bash starts it sources all the *.sh
files in /etc/profile.d.
