   That's normal, emacsclient will try to start "emacs --daemon", if
   you don't have emacs in your PATH, it won't be able to find it.
   IMO it won't be a good idea to try to exec ../src/emacs.

Could you explain why you do not think that this would be a good idea?
We already do this for elisp files, and any aux. program like
movemail.

   It should be there already.

Thank you.
