Emacs/update/22.1/setting the path

[trajan]

Hello,

    I have downloaded the latest version (I believe) for Emacs for the
Mac, v22.1, from ftp.gnu.org.  I have done the config, make and install,
but now it seems that the Mac OS (Tiger, v10.4.11) is still looking  
for the
former version of Emacs, v21.2.1.

How do I set the path or tell the OS where to look for Emacs v22.1?  I'm
working in a Terminal window, using the bash shell.  Any info is  
appreciated.
Thanks.

I assume it's installed in /usr/local/bin. You can set your $PATH to 
something like:

PATH=${HOME}/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}

in your ~/.bashrc. That way the system will search for executables in  
/usr/local/bin _before_ it looks in /usr/bin, which is the default, and 
where the Apple-supplied version of emacs lives.
