Is anybody familiar with cider-jack-in via tramp and how I might set environment variables on the remote instance? The zshrc set environment variables don't seem to be showing up. Specifically I am trying to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH but (System/getenv "LD_LIBRARY_PATH") confirms that it isn't set
in my experience this, at least sometimes, comes down to the config on the remote machine - maybe look into which startup file is setting the variable you want and then confirm that the connection pathway is sourcing that file. Some variables get set late in some shell setup that other connection paths might not go through. hth
Spot on @hhausman, thanks. I was able to get it working by fiddling with the zshrc file a bit more.
(Also, for the most part I am relatively blown away at how well cider works with tramp)
