Hi Eric,
Fwiw I have the code below in my .emacs to make sure that emacs picks up
the executables I want it to pick up. Basically the game is that you
want both (getenv "PATH") and the emacs variable `exec-path' to have the
correct paths. You'd need to modify this to suit your needs, but it
should be straightforward (reply here if not).
