Although 'which autoconf' worked in a no= rmal shell window, it did not work in emacs shell. I had set both the PATH = environment variable and the exec-path variable in emacs, but somehow, emac= s shell was using something else. Anyone know where that path comes from?= =20 Anyway, I wound up creating a symlink to autoconf from /usr/sbin, which was= on the emacs shell path, and that worked.=20 I could have installed it manually, I suppose, but el-get really makes it e= asy (usually) to install and manage different packages.=20 Thanks, -pd
