hi.

i recently switched my laptop over to texlive from tetex. now i find
that i can't get auctex to compile latex files unless i start emacs
from a terminal window command prompt. (it tells me it can't find the
latex binary) i've used customise to set up the latex commands to
reflect the locations of the new binaries. i have TEXINPUTS, TEXMF
and TEX_PATH set in my .bashrc. what am i forgetting?

thanks in advance,

So where do you start emacs from?

If you do not start emacs from bash, then emacs can't be informed about
bash variables.

Maybe $PATH?

A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.

man bash

and read about what files are read into what shells at what time.
