[Emacspeak] Re: installing on Mac osx

[Mohammed Alderweesh <alderweesh.m@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the output of echo $path

/usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin

and here is the output of which emacs:

/usr/local/bin/emacs  

Note that when I open emacs without loading emacspeak-setup.el, I get the emacs version is 27.2.

Thank you.

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.
