Yes, this could be deduced from your original post:
  --> obnc tempConvert.obn
  sh: 1: /usr/local/bin/obnc-compile: not found
  obnc: build process failed

My guess: obnc uses the library function "system"
(or something equivalent) to execute the command
"obnc-compile" by the shell. The shell uses the
path /usr/local/bin without respecting the $PATH
environment variable.

My recommendation: do exactly as August suggested
and put obnc and obnc-compile in /usr/local/bin.
The alternative (finding and correcting the place
where the path is hard-coded) is more difficult.
