Not working with --daemon #69

Closed kirkins closed 7 years ago

I've installed via MELPA then restarted.

When I open a GUI instance, then eshell, echo $PATH, I ended up with the same path from my bash as expected.

But when I open emacs from terminal connecting to an existing daemon instance then repeat the same process the path isn't that used in bash.

Did you follow the instructions? Installing is not sufficient: there's an additional required step noted in the README. (Just like all the built-in Emacs packages, installation of packages from MELPA etc. does not imply that the user want them all activated, even if "activated" had a well-defined meaning.)
