Hi list,
I wanted to display an annotated version of files.el, so I pressed
`C-x v g' in that file. But Debugger entered:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Searching for program"
"No such file or directory" "bzr")
start-process("bzr" #<buffer *Annotate files.el (rev 112804)*>

vc-annotate("/Users/xfq/emacs-repo/bzr/trunk/lisp/files.el" "112804" 20.0)
call-interactively(vc-annotate nil nil)
command-execute(vc-annotate)
I can use bzr outside Emacs, and I'm using OS X 10.8.3 with Bazaar
2.5.1 and python 2.7.2. It seems that Emacs cannot find my bzr. Can
anyone point me in the right direction?
FYI:
$ which bzr
/usr/local/bin/bzr
$ cat /etc/paths
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin

Try
M-: (executable-find "bzr") RET
If that doesn't find bzr, check you exec-path.

`F1 v exec-path RET':
exec-path is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is
("/usr/bin" "/bin" "/usr/sbin" "/sbin"
"/Users/xfq/emacs-repo/bzr/trunk/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec"
"/Users/xfq/emacs-repo/bzr/trunk/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin")
`/usr/local/bin' isn't in it. I'll add this path into my `.emacs',
thank you.

Not a good idea, if you ask me. Your exec-path and PATH outside of
Emacs should be in agreement (with the exception of the libexec
directory). Otherwise, Emacs will be able to find files that the
shell cannot, or vice versa.
So I would suggest to figure out why the shell outside Emacs can find
what Emacs cannot, and fix whatever causes that, instead of simply
adding directories to exec-path.

Sounds like the problem described in and apparently solved by
https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell

On OS X, an Emacs session started from GUI will have a different
environment with a shell in terminal. Obviously this will lead to
unexpected results when calling external utilities like `bzr' from
Emacs.

This library works around this problem by copying environment variables
from the shell, and it works for me. Thank you.
