pd,

After trying what has alreaddy been suggested you might try putting your
cursor after the last bracket of this and pressing C-x C-e to see what
emacs thinks your shell PATH environment variable is set to:

(getenv "PATH")

If you can't see the correct path in there then it should probably be
set in ~/.profile or equivalent for tcsh rather than in ~/.tcshrc (I
don't use tcsh so I just guessed that filename).
