pdflatex not found despite setting PATH #29

I get "Searching for program: No such file or directory, pdflatex" when I try loading/refreshing the pane. I've set the PATH variable in .emacs to include the latex directory (it exists in /home). This works fine with AUCTeX.

A few responses:

  1. What OS?
  2. The PATH environment variable in .emacs is not what you want to set (if you set something). You want exec-path.
  3. I highly suggest adding the package: https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell

It will make the emacs exec-path the same as your shell. Make sure you can execute the command pdflatex from the command line and all should work in emacs.

Best, JLS

  1. Ubuntu
  2. Setting exec-path worked. Thanks.
