More puzzles, which, perhaps, point to some inconsistencies of Aquamacs
PATH, with respect to zsh:
By launching Aquamacs from terminal:
$ open -a aquamacs
in Aquamacs *Messages*:
23 environment variables imported from login shell (/bin/zsh).
In another Restart of the Mac and launching Aquamacs from Dock:
In Aquamacs *Messages*, I get alternative number of variables:
16 environment variables imported from login shell (/bin/zsh).
or
19 environment variables imported from login shell (/bin/zsh).
with the same:
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
Best Regards,
Roussanka
