Re: [O] Difference between eval and export

[Johannes Rainer]

thanks Grant for this information.

I was just wondering, because it seemed to me that some environment variables 
(from the shell) are present in the, while they some (LC_ALL) are not present 
in the export process. 
In my case, the export call fails with an error message, while there is no 
problem if I evaluate source block per source block from the buffer.

At present I am therefore looking for a way to specify environment variables in 
the export process, but I have no idea how to do that...
