[Emacspeak] Re: installing on Mac osx



I think we first need to verify that your path variable is correct and
your running the version of emacs installed by homebrew. Can you run in
a terminal the following commands and paste the output in a reply?

echo $PATH

which emacs

and then try running

/usr/local/bin/emacs

and see if that makes any difference.
