Hi Ettore and Win,

I've done one more test, which seems to  improve the PATH value for
Aquamacs and allows access to ps2pdf, but I do not know whether this solves
the problems, or is just a test with some improvement.

----------------
by moving .zprofile to
t.zprofile
keeping:
.zshrc

19 environment variables imported from login shell (/bin/zsh)

M-x getenv
PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/texbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/texlive/2020/bin

~ $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin
~ $
~ $ echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh

latex+dvi+ps2pdf seem fine from Aquamacs

----------------
Best Regards,
Roussanka
