racket-mode finds wrong version of Racket

[David Storrs]

I just now updated to 7.5 from 7.3, then updated my .bashrc to have the correct path.  I'm using GNU Emacs in Terminal on OSX 10.11.

$ echo $PATH

[...stuff that isn't Racket...]:/Applications/Racket_v7.5.0.10/bin:[...stuff that isn't Racket...]

From a .rkt file:

C-c C-c

Welcome to Racket v7.3.

; Kill the Racket command server buffer

C-x C-k

; back to the .rkt file, try again

C-c C-c

Welcome to Racket v7.3.

; kill and restart emacs

C-x C-c

$ emacs

C-c C-c

Welcome to Racket v7.3.

Killing and restarting Terminal and reloading Emacs from scratch finally worked.

Is there any way that I could have resolved this without getting quite so nuclear?  I googled around and could not find anything.

Emacs has a few ways to update environment variables (see
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Environment.html),
but IMHO they are not very practical if updating several variables — I
always prefer to simply restart Emacs, or not to add anything to $PATH
but to symlink files to somewhere in my PATH (when that approach is
viable).


since you are using OSX,
https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell might be useful to
you.
