RA> This is not a good idea as you obviously found out. Yes; it works for almost all of the packages that I use, but not auctex which is unfortunate. Still, as there isn't a standard for doing this on emacs, I guess auctex's method is as good as everyone else. Just to explain, the reason I do this is that my emacs configuration and add-on packages are shared between the five machines and 2 operating systems that I use regularly. I use unison to sync it all together; this means I only have to install things once and behaviour is identical between my machines. >> So I decided to try the make install option instead.
