That would suggest that you are using an older version of autoconf. What does autoconf --version report? > 1.

If you can reproduce this with a fresh checkout, it would be good to know if this bug also happens if you do ./configure --disable-preview I think that the compilation of preview-latex might not yet have the correct paths set, and it would be interesting to know whether this happens within AUCTeX or within preview-latex compilation. Of course, if you sent the actual output of the compilation, that would help. > 2.

Stuff that is placed in automatically loaded directories (like "auctex.el") might not actually be in the load-path. So require might not be able to find it. Using "load" allows to specify a path to use. If the system already provides a preactivated AUCTeX installation of its own, you can use (unload-feature 'tex-site) followed by loading the auctex.el of your own AUCTeX installation, and get a working setup. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
