What am I doing wrong?
You're probably using Carbon Emacs on Mac OS X – it needs to know the
value of PATH.
The usual way would be to set PATH in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist –
all native Aqua clients (Carbon or Cocoa based, including X11 and the
X clients launched in it) learn environment variables from this file.
It /might/ work to create a file ~/.emacs_your login shell>, for
example ~/.emacs_tcsh in my case. There you can set environment
variables for Emacs' *shell* buffer in usual shell syntax. It /could/
also work for shell processes created from Emacs.
What will work is, to set PATH in ~/.emacs:
(setenv "PATH" (concat "/some/directory" ":" (getenv "PATH")))
To find out what the PATH value is that Emacs knows:
M-x shell-command RET echo $PATH RET
or
M-x getenv RET PATH RET
Now you can determine which elements need to be included in "/some/
directory" ...
