You're probably using Carbon Emacs on Mac OS X – it needs to know the  
value of PATH.


The usual way would be to set PATH in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist –  
all native Aqua clients (Carbon or Cocoa based, including X11 and the  
X clients launched in it) learn environment variables from this file.

It /might/ work to create a file ~/.emacs_your login shell>, for  
example ~/.emacs_tcsh in my case. There you can set environment  
variables for Emacs' *shell* buffer in usual shell syntax. It /could/  
also work for shell processes created from Emacs.


What will work is, to set PATH in ~/.emacs:

	(setenv "PATH" (concat "/some/directory" ":" (getenv "PATH")))

To find out what the PATH value is that Emacs knows:

	M-x shell-command RET echo $PATH RET

or

	M-x getenv RET PATH RET

Now you can determine which elements need to be included in "/some/ 
directory" ...
