Well, the bottom line is that you probably want to have these two forms
in your init file:

    (setenv "PATH" "/usr/local/bin:$PATH" t)
    (add-to-list 'exec-path "/usr/local/bin")

Alternatively, you could just install the `exec-path-from-shell' package
from MELPA and add this to your init file:

    (exec-path-from-shell-initialize)

However, my impression is that the thing blocking these solutions at the
moment is a mysterious error in your init file.

Based on the error ("end of file while reading"), it sounds like you
have a mismatched quote/paren/bracket somewhere. But nothing's
mismatched in what you posted, so it's hard to be specific.
