Hi all,
If you run emacs in linux in a GUI environment the problem is
frequently that you set up your PATH in your ~/.bashrc (or equivalent
for your shell) but you launch emacs from your GUI launcher, which
means that emacs never sees your PATH modifications. The solution to
this in most newer desktops (I believe, I have tested in gnome 3) is
to add PATH entries that you want to pass on to emacs in your
~/.pam_environment file. Here is an example line:
PATH
DEFAULT=${PATH}:/usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-linux/:/home/egh/local/bin
best, Erik
