It depends on your login shell's syntax. You can put into the file  
~/.emacs_<login shell's name> a command like

	. ~/.profile

for Bourne like shells or

	source ~/.profile

for csh like shells. Other shells will also have their syntax.

Thanks. But how can I do that automatically?

This is because right now, when I start a shell, it source in my
'.profile' automatically.
But when I start a shell within emacs, it does not source in my .profile.

Thank you.

What do you mean by "automatically?" Is putting the command into the  
file ~/.emacs_<login shell's name> not enough "automatic?" Should GNU  
Emacs write this file's contents onto disk? Before it launches the  
first time ...

or as an alternative you can use term-mode which is a full blown terminal
emulator.
it will automatically read your .bashrc file like a regular terminal. as a
bonus you can
run any type of application inside it including curses based ones.

... which is not ~/.profile ... (obviously Lucius has problems with  
the setup of his login shell)
