I think the actual number is more like 2.17, but let's not quibble.

Not found.

Still not found. However, adding it to ~/.tcshrc seems to fix the problem. That makes sense, but leaves two questions:

1) Why am I able to run pdflatex (without specifying the path) just from the shell running in a terminal window?

2) What's the point of defining the emacs exec-path, since I needed to define the shell's PATH variable anyway?

Sorry. It's OS X 10.10.5, using GNU Emacs 24.5.1

Thanks!

Thanks, Rainer. This also raises a question:

If I run emacs from Finder, which shell governs its behavior? I use both zsh and tcsh in iTerm 2. (

I think I have tcsh set as my default, but I haven't figured out how to get Ruby/Rails, etc. running from there, so I still use zsh
for some development.)

Thanks!

Sorry. Here's the backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "PDF file ./test.pdf wasn't produced")
  signal(error ("PDF file ./test.pdf wasn't produced"))

This seems less useful to me than the *Messages* buffer:

I did verify that the shell, my default of tcsh, does show pdflatex at the right location, /usr/texbin/pdflatex

Thanks,

I'm trying to export PDF from org, but I'm getting the error:

pdflatex: Command not found. [3 times]

I've checked the definition of exec-path, and it includes "/usr/texbin", which is where tcsh tells me the executable is.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
