Re: Dumb Emacs lilypond-mode question

If I remember correctly, GUI apps don't by default load your $PATH, there's a trick somewhere to get them to do it, I just don't remember where or how. But that may be what you need.

I've had lilypond-mode working in Emacs for a year now, using Carbon Emacs on Mac OS X 10.4. Works great, kuds to whomever wrote the mode. I just built the latest Emacs 23.1 to give it a try; it initially didn't work with Lilypond at all until I remembered I had to add the lilypond-mode .el files to site-lisp inside Emacs.app. So, did that and lilypond-mode is automatically loaded when I open a .ly file. Yay. Everything looks fine, syntax coloring works, etc.

However, I can't compile. C-c C-l results in "Compilation exited abnormally with code 127" (paraphrasing from memory here; there's also a /bin/bash complaint too). Interestingly C-c C-s launches the designated PDF viewer (Preview) just fine, if I open a .ly file that has already been compiled and has a rendered PDF already.

This is not a new issue, when I tried to set up Carbon Emacs about a year ago I had the same problem... but I can't remember the fix and hence that is the "dumb" part of my question. I haven't been able to track the fix down in the archives of the lilypond-user list, which is where I got the fix last year IIRC. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

BTW, my copy of Carbon Emacs with lilypond-mode still works fine, so that's the easy workaround. This also suggests to me that it is not a problem in my .emacs file since that is the same for both Emacsen. I have some vague recollection of editing a particular file, just not *which* file.
