Compile Latex in Emacs.app with AucTex

Question

I installed emacs 24.5 and auctex 11.88 on os 10.9. The compilation (C-c C-c) of a tex file does not work in the GUI (Emacs.app), but it does work in the terminal. I get the following error

I believe that I set up the necessary paths because the preview functionality is working. Not sure what else to try. Thank you for any suggestions.

This is most likely a problem with the shell environment. The emacs package exec-path-from-shell addresses exact that type of problem on OSX. Just install it via the list-packages interface and call `(exec-path-from-shell-initialize)' in your emacs init file. — Andrew Swann, Nov 06 '15 at 21:32

Thanks, Andrew! The exec-path-from-shell did the job. Although the installation did not work as the instructions of the git repo suggested. — user3399994, Nov 06 '15 at 23:45

I'd recommend the Aquamacs package for Emacs on OSX. Peoples opinions will vary, but it's really a nice Mac friendly setup. I don't think it has the same problems setting up the path.
