I use it with the current Vanilla Emacs, and it works. I ran into trouble when I noticed that GNU Emacs on the Mac does not inherit environment variables when you start it from Finder. Both the locale for aspell and the env LuaTeX needs were missing. You may use setenv, but the preferred way on the Mac is to use exec-path-from-shell. Regards, Jürgen.
Re: environment variables?
Hi Tom,
Why not just embed these settings in a .bashrc file (or equivalent)?
### Settings that are defaults--can be updated below
# Set up the TeX environmentals
TEXINPUTS=.:${HOME}/tex/latex:
export TEXINPUTS
BIBINPUTS=.:${HOME}/litbase/bibtex:
export BIBINPUTS
BSTINPUTS=.:${HOME}/tex/bibtex:
export BSTINPUTS
Best,
Rob

I've read a couple of times that the lisp library exec-path-from-shell.el is made for this[1]. I've never used it, though. I always start Emacs from the CLI.

You can use elisp function `setenv'. Put something like this in your init file (e.g. ~/.emacs.d/init.el): (setenv "TEXINPUTS" "/abc/def/xyz//:") Regards, Ikumi Keita #StandWithUkraine #StopWarInUkraine
