  1. POEmacs is ignoring my path when it runs a compile command
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to get a compile command (rake cucumber) to run with a specific ruby version on my Mac OS X system, I use rvm to do this currently in the terminal. My ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist has the correct path in it, but emacs insists on prepending to this path and therefore making it useless. I've also tried:</p> <pre><code>(when (equal system-type 'darwin) (setenv "PATH" (concat "/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p249/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p249/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p249%global/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/bin")) (push "/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/bin" exec-path) (push "/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p249/bin" exec-path) (push "/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p249/bin" exec-path) (push "/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p249%global/bin" exec-path) (push "/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/bin" exec-path)) </code></pre> <p>It was the desperate attempt of an emacs beginner to get what I wanted. It <em>still</em> prepends in front of it, so my path ends up being:</p> <pre><code>/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p249/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p249/bin:/Users/fearoffish/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p249%global/bin </code></pre> <p>I don't want /usr/bin and others prepending, I want <em>my</em> path first and the emacs prepended path to be at the end, I reckon this would fix my problem.</p> <p>I test this by simply opening Aquamacs and running <code>meta-x compile</code> and then <code>echo $PATH</code>.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p>
