So you should be adding /opt/local/bin to exec-path, or to PATH before you start Emacs. Changing PATH after Emacs has started will not affect call-process and similar things.

In your case, had Emacs found and invoked `git', it would have passed `git' the value of PATH that included "/opt/local/bin". ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
