I want to use the command C-c C-x C-l to preview latex code in org-mode. Since the emacs-nox cannot do this, I tried apt-get install emacs24. However, after I have installed the emacs24 with GUI, I get an error like
can't find \`latex'(needed to convert LaTeX fragments to images)
I have installed texlive2016, and I can latex *.tex in shell command.
I added the /paht/to/latex to .emacs, but it don't work well.
Adding the following to my init.el makes it work:
;; Making emacs find latex (so that C-c C-x C-l works on orgmode)
(setenv "PATH" (concat ":/Library/TeX/texbin/" (getenv "PATH")))
(add-to-list 'exec-path "/Library/TeX/texbin/")
It is not a very pretty solution, but it does the job and is very easy to modify and understand.
This solution worked on a Mac running macOS Sierra and Emacs v25.1.
My crystal ball tells me that the problem is that you're not starting the GUI Emacs from a terminal, so it can't inherit your $PATH settings. See for example https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/10722/ (that question is within OSX, but the same problem appears in other systems).
Apparently you can set env-vars globally (so that they affect all applications, including those started directly from the GUI) in ~/.pam_environment (that's for GNU/Linux systems). Note that this is only consulted when you login, so you need to logout+login for changes to take effect.

In emacs I have got the tuareg mode enabled in the top and the shell in the bottom without color syntax. How can I have color syntax in the shell?
In order to get here, I installed camllight using this script http://judicael.courant.free.fr/2015/02/20/installationcaml.html
then, I installed melpa
M-x list-packages
to search and to install tuareg. And finally, I edited .emacs with (add to list 'load-path "home/pi/.emacs.d/lisp") where lisp is a directory which contain tuareg.el, camldebug.el, tuareg-site-file-el
emacs window:
The mode that you're looking for is not the one that comes with Tuareg. The guy in the video is using the inferior-ocaml mode that is a part of an old caml-mode that used to be distributed with the OCaml compiler. Unless you really want the exact setup as in the video, I would suggest you use a more modern Tuareg mode together with the OCaml Merlin. Otherwise, you should remove Tuareg and install caml-mode using M-x package-install <RET> caml-mode <RET> (see also the documentation on the Github page of the project for more details).
In Windows 10, Emacs 26.3 with inbuilt org version 9.1.9 is working fine (Packaged binaries). Recently I tried Emacs 27.1. with inbuilt org version 9.3. While loading .org files for first time, I get the message (Shell command succeeded with no output) and org files are not rendered at all. To render it, I have to use M-x org-mode or reload the file in the buffer again. I tried to run without loading .emacs.d folder packages. The issue persists. It means, it has nothing to do with already installed other packages. I also tried with latest org version 9.3.7 and and also tried with emacs -Q. Still the issue persists. Any solutions?
I know I'm very late, but found in Jeffs words:
Evil remaps C-i to evil-jump-forward to emulate Vim’s jump lists feature2, which overwrites the default mapping for the TAB key in Org mode.
To fix the tab key’s functionality in Org mode, sacrifice Evil’s C-i backward jumping by turning it off in your configuration with the evil-want-C-i-jump option.
So to solve, just edit your init.el to look like this:
;; Install Evil and disable C-i to jump forward to restore TAB functionality in Org mode.
(use-package evil
:init (setq evil-want-C-i-jump nil)
:config (evil-mode))

I'm using emacs -nw (Emacs 24.5, Ubuntu 16.04). And I found that the default emacs M-w C-y keys don't work interchangeably with the operating system.
After some research, it seems that the most comprehensive solution is to use simpleclip. EmacsWiki says that
simpleclip
You can use https://github.com/rolandwalker/simpleclip which ALWAYS
works.
But looking into its usage guide above, simpleclip makes use of a set of keys that are completely different from the default M-w C-y or the OS Ctrl-Shift-c, Ctrl-Shift-v for copy-paste
;; Press super-c to copy without affecting the kill ring.
;; Press super-x or super-v to cut or paste.
I don't really want to use super key a lot with my PC keyboards, and don't want to remember (or persuade others to remember) yet another set of copy-paste keys.
For the GUI emacs, I can copy something in emacs and paste it into another terminal without any configuration. Mostly, I don't feel that Emacs is any different from gedit except that the emacs copy-paste keys M-w C-y can be used in addition.
In the terminal mode, most of it breaks down. If I use OS copy (Ctrl-Shift-c), one line in emacs can be copied into two or more lines in a target terminal because the line is too long. contents copied using M-w simply do not paste into other programs, even though I tried to set certain variables following other SO questions, e.g.:
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
I'm not very familiar with elisp. My question:
How can I customize or configure simpleclip so that copy-paste in emacs -nw is exactly the same as copy-paste in the OS?
Other related SO questions:
How to copy text from Emacs to another application on Linux
emacs terminal mode: how to copy and paste efficiently
I recommend you use the xclip package, which you can install from GNU ELPA (i.e. via M-x package-list-packages). It requires installation of the xclip utility under X11 (e.g. via aptitude install xclip) and uses the pbcopy/pbpaste under macOS.
I am using Mac OS and emacs -nw (the terminal mode).
I don't know how can I paste things (having been implemented by M-w in emacs -nw) outside the emacs.
I know that the emacs -ns can do it.
Searching the internet and the command C-h b, i find out that method, but it didn't work out.
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
(setq interprogram-cut-function 'x-select-text)
I don't know much about the argument of interprogram-cut-function.
Where does the x-select-text come from and what does it mean?
If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 or Fedora 21, there are a couple of options to make this work.
First you need to install xclip
sudo apt-get install xclip
First Option: For Emacs 24
If you are using emacs24 you can install from the list of packages
M-x package-list-packages
Select
xclip //mine was version 1.3
In your .emacs add:
(xclip-mode 1)
Second Option. For emacs before version 24
Install xclip.el:
Integrating Emacs with the X11 Clipboard in Linux
Third Option. Using #Nicholas Riley code shown in the answer
To use the code in the answer you need
pbcopy / pbpaste in Ubuntu (command line clipboard)
x-select-text is only used if you're running Emacs in a GUI. (Emacs maps the Mac/Windows pasteboard/clipboard APIs to the X11 model, hence the name). You can always use C-h f to find out more about a function like this one and view its definition if it's written in elisp.
On the Mac, there is no concept of CLIPBOARD versus PRIMARY selections, so there is no point in setting x-select-enable-clipboard.
The whole point of running emacs -nw is that it doesn't interact with the windowing system. Why use Emacs in a terminal when there are plenty of graphical Emacsen that work very nicely on the Mac?
That said, if you really wanted to hook up terminal Emacs to the Mac pasteboard, you could do something like this:
(setq interprogram-cut-function
(lambda (text &optional push)
(let* ((process-connection-type nil)
(pbproxy (start-process "pbcopy" "pbcopy" "/usr/bin/pbcopy")))
(process-send-string pbproxy text)
(process-send-eof pbproxy))))
If you want a way to place the contents of the emacs region onto the clipboard only sometimes, as opposed to every time you do an emacs yank (which causes the clipboard contents the be overwitten all the time), you should check this answer to a related question:

I found that it solved my problem much better than setting xclip mode.
Has anyone set up cygwin and some emacs to work well under a 64-bit Windows 7?
I tried downloading cygwin recently, and by default not even dired works reliably, there are odd shell prompt characters, I get a lot of warnings, in one case C-c was read as C-g and caused various errors. (Neither xemacs nor emacs worked for me, where by "work" I mean that dired and shell work, and without warnings).
I just want the usual emacs development tools: gdb-mode, shell-mode, compiling, tag-search to work as normal.
I was hoping someone who has done this recently with cygwin could share whatever relevant shell files, emacs files, environment variables, and so on to make this all work. Should all these things just work out of the box?
You should check out ntemacs, with this code in your .emacs everything is working great with cygwin:
;; -- sets up cygwin
(let* ((cygwin-root "c:/cygwin")
(cygwin-bin (concat cygwin-root "/bin")))
(when (and (eq 'windows-nt system-type)
(file-readable-p cygwin-root))
(setq exec-path (cons cygwin-bin exec-path))
(setenv "PATH" (concat cygwin-bin ";" (getenv "PATH")))
(setq shell-file-name "bash")
(setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name)
(setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
(add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'comint-strip-ctrl-m)))
I use a hideous Frankenstein mix of "native" Win32 emacs (http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-23.1.97-bin-i386.zip is the latest, but I'm using an older version) and Cygwin -- for bash, find, etc. It's taken me years to tweak things to my liking, and it's still a pretty bumpy experience.
Anyway it's worth trying.
I use a straight clean install of Emacs, gcc, gdb, make, etc from Cygwin (currently 1.7.15, but I've been doing this for years) and my standard dotfiles (.emacs, .bashrc/.bash_profile) that have been tweaked (but not really heavily) to be portable across Linux and Cygwin, and everything works fine for me. Occasionally I run into problems (like with processing2-mode where Processing doesn't have a Cygwin package yet, so it wants native Windows paths, but that's easily enough fixed and out of the ordinary. It almost sounds to me like something is fundamentally broken on your setup; could you give more details? Otherwise all I can recommend is wipe and do a clean reinstall.
