Hi,

thanks for your fast help.

load-path is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is 
("c:/Program Files/EmacsW32/EmacsW32/nxhtml/util/" "c:/Program
Files/EmacsW32/EmacsW32/lisp/" "c:/Program Files/EmacsW32/emacs/site-lisp"
"C:/Program Files/EmacsW32/emacs/../site-lisp" "C:/Program

exec-path is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is 
("c:/Program Files/EmacsW32/emacs/bin/" "c:/Program Files/MiKTeX
2.7/miktex/bin" "C:/Program Files/GnuWin32/bin" " C:/Program
Files/emacs/bin" "C:/Lint" "C:/Perl/site/bin" "C:/Perl/bin"
"C:/PROGRA~1/Serena/vm/win32/bin" "C:/PROGRA~1/Serena/vm/common/bin/win32"

"C:/GTK/bin" "C:/WINDOWS/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0" "c:/Program
Files/EmacsW32/emacs/bin")

(getenv "PATH")
"c:\\Program Files\\EmacsW32\\emacs\\bin\\;C:\\Program Files\\MiKTeX
2.7\\miktex\\bin;C:\\Program Files\\GnuWin32\\bin; C:\\Program
Files\\emacs\\bin;C:\\Lint;C:\\Perl\\site\\bin;C:\\Perl\\bin;C:\\PROGRA~1\\Serena\\vm\\win32\\bin;C:\\PROGRA~1\\Serena\\vm\\common\\bin\\win32;C:\\WINDOWS\\system32;C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\Program

Files\\Roxio Shared\\DLLShared;C:\\Program Files\\Development
Tools\\Notepad2;C:\\GTK\\bin;C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0"


How did I fill it out?
I tried three different ways:

1.) Options -> Customize EmacsW32 -> Current MSYS Path -> Customize ...
Then I entered: C:\msys\bin

2.) Options -> Customize EmacsW32 -> Current MSYS Path -> Find!

3.) directly in .emacs as you have seen in my first post

But all three ways lead to the same error.

I now see that msys is not in the PATH and not in the load-path and not in
the exec-path.

Greetings,
Dirk
