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?
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?
Of course, my goose isn't completely cooked here. I can always launch
an emacs from the xterm window. But there ought to be a way to launch
an emacs with the proper PATH at startup and from the Applications menu.
Thanks.
