Why are you talking about Makefiles here? Is the problem the setting of the path variable within Emacs or the setting within Make? Is the problem that Make works differently when executed from inside Emacs than when executed outside Emacs? As Emanuel wrote earlier you can find the setting in Emacs by using: (getenv "PATH") BR, Robert Thorpe
