I have exec-path including the bin directory I have my scripts in but then doing: M-x compile then echo $PATH I don't see that directory. Trying to start any of the scripts by doing M-x compile then "script_name" will prompt emacs to recognize the command. I also tried adding to $PATH from my .emscs file but that did not work as well. So this did not work: (setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":" (expand-file-name "~/mybin"))) (setq exec-path (append exec-path (list (expand-file-name "~/mybin"))) Any pointers?
