In from Yosemite onwards, programs started from the finder / spotlight / gui (however you call this) do *not* inherit from the .bashrc anymore. This caused many problems. Furthermore, there seems to be a change from emacs 24.5 to emacs 25 in this regard (this is why I had to add --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "LC_ALL") (exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "LANG") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- to my emacs.org to get the LANG in R correct.
