Check the settings in
(getenv "PATH")
and
exec-path
Personally, I use
(defun TeXlive (year)
"Use TeXlive with the given year (given as string), nil if no TeXlive."
(interactive
(let* ((year
(directory-files "/usr/local/texlive/" nil "\\`[0-9]+\\'")))
(setq year
(completing-read (format "Year to use (default %s): "
(car (last year)))
(cons "none" year)
nil t nil nil (car (last year))))
(list (unless (string= year "none") year))))
(let ((path (getenv "PATH")))
(while (string-match "/usr/local/texlive/[0-9]+/bin/i386-linux:" path)
(setq path (replace-match "" t t path)))
(when year
(setq path (format "/usr/local/texlive/%s/bin/i386-linux:%s"
year path)))
(setenv "PATH" path)))
to select one of several TeXlive installations. Apparently, exec-path
does not need setting here: at least I don't have problems without it.
