Hi Paula This mailing list is for Carbon Emacs, not Aquamacs, but you will find an explanation below.

When you are in your shell (Terminal) you have set your path, probably by including some statements in your ~/.profile file (or ~/.bashrc or perhaps something else depending on your shell). The value of PATH includes /sw/bin (which by the way is something from Fink I think). Anyway, the main reason is that when Emacs.app is started, it does not know about the values of PATH which you have set in your shell startup script. This is why it cannot find /sw/bin/latex. You need to tell Emacs.app how to do this. There are two ways 1) Investigate how you set your latex command explicitly in AUCTeX, this command should include your path, so instead of latex it should say /sw/bin/latex Unfortunately I do not know more specifics, but this should be enough to start a search (it might be mentioned in the AUCTeX FAQ). 2) Set the PATH variable for Emacs.app by setting ~/.MacOS/environment.plist.
