Indeed it does. I haven’t used Emacs.app in a long time, so I could not remember about that one.

Yes, /usr has become immutable. MacTeX no longer creates that link. (In fact, can’t.)

Oh, that’s because you are responding to me, and I was responding to Herb, who 
raised the issue. 

I think Herb is interested in formulating some kind of advise for MacTeX users.  My response was to tell Aquatics picks my PATH just fine. 

On the other hand, I gather this does not work for Herb…?  Herb, which one are you using, Aquamacs or Emacs.app? Can you please keep the other lists in the CC? I am going to paste your response below.

Indeed.

From Herb:

Howdy,

I thought it inherited the correct PATH variable, include the /etc/paths.d/TeX contents (/Library/TeX/texbin). In Terminal everything works properly, i.e., PATH does pick up /Library/TeX/texbin.

I've changed the /usr/texbin in auctex-config.el but it still won't execute pdflatex. Is there something I have to do to for AUCTeX to re-initialize itself or is auctex-config.el executed on every start? Maybe that's all it needs.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
