Re: environment variables?

[Rob MacLeod]

Hi Tom,

Why not just embed these settings in a .bashrc file (or equivalent)?

############################################################

### Settings that are defaults--can be updated below

############################################################

# Set up the TeX environmentals

TEXINPUTS=.:${HOME}/tex/latex:

export TEXINPUTS

BIBINPUTS=.:${HOME}/litbase/bibtex:

export BIBINPUTS

BSTINPUTS=.:${HOME}/tex/bibtex:

export BSTINPUTS

Best,

Rob

I've read a couple of times that the lisp library
exec-path-from-shell.el is made for this[1].  I've never used it,
though.  I always start Emacs from the CLI.
