Hi.
Here is my .xinitrc file
xrdb .Xdefaults
xterm -geometry 80x24-1-100 -ls &
/sw/bin/emacs &
exec quartz-wm
By using "-ls", the xterm sources the .login file and gets the proper
path. However, emacs is unaware of the proper path. (In particular, it
doesn't know where my TeX executables are.) Is there some way I can get
the emacs launched from .xinitrc to have the proper path?
Since you are using Fink, the first line in your .xinitrc should be
source /sw/bin/init.sh
It will set up the environment for the other programs started from .xinitrc.
Similarly, I have an "emacs" entry in my X11 Applications menu. Said
emacs also doesn't have the proper path. How can this be fixed?
This, too, has been explained many times on this list: You have to start
the X server with a proper environment. Either start the X server from
the command line or write a wrapper script (or use one of the clickable
wrapper scripts that you can find on the net).
