What was the ./configure commandline when you install?

ememe will search for meme in the /bin/sh path, perhaps you installed it 
somewhere that is in your path when you login but not for this shell?

You can define environment variable EMBOSS_MEME (uppercase, or put it 
into the emboss.defaults file) to point to the full path to meme.
