This means that the process environment in which GNU Emacs runs does not have an environment variable PATH that contains the path to latex as one of many elements. The reason is that the complete value of PATH (or $PATH) was not inherited from whatever launched GNU Emacs. The cure is: correct GNU Emacs launch. Or correct the value of the GNU Emacs variable exec-path (to contain also the path to latex). -- Greetings Pete Without vi there is only GNU Emacs
