I thought so.
OK - you have pdflatex in the terminal? If yes, you have to bring the
PATH from the terminal into emacs. I use
I use the package exec-path-from-shell for this (and use-package in general):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-package exec-path-from-shell
:ensure t
:config
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)
(exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "LC_ALL")
(exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "LANG")
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
so
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'exec-path-to-shell)
(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
should do this.
Cheers,
Rainer
