I had no idea it worked like that. Thanks for the heads up.
I don't understand why such a hammer is needed at all
It was a simple labor of trial and error. I didn't want to spend more time
on it, and since it worked, I left it as is, for now.
And in that case, how/why does it work from a terminal?
It works fine from the terminal (iTerm/zshell), and after I used setenv
before the (shell-command), it worked just like it does from when ran from
the terminal.
I might get into it and try to figure out why emacs is not inheriting the
setting from the shell (I'm using zshell on Mac OSX Lion, and emacs is
"(GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of
2012-01-29 on bob.porkrind.org)". But for now, I'll leave it as is, since
it's working as expected.
Thanks!
- Marcelo.
