In vimrc, I want to set the path from an environment variable, eg.:
set path = '.,' . $SOMEVAR . '/**'
So if $SOMEVAR was /foo/bar, I want vim's path to be '.,/foo/bar/**'.
You're using :let syntax (which takes a VimL expression) for a :set
(which is a command (so, no VimL, no spaces between 'path', '=', etc.)).
Either of the following should work:
set path=.,$SOMEVAR/**
or
let &path = '.,' . $SOMEVAR . '/**'
In both cases, you might want to make it buffer-local (e.g. if $SOMEVAR
is filetype-specific):
setl path= "...
or
let &l:path = " ...
