Yes, in AUCTeX 11.81 you have to load tex-mik.el(c) separately with (require 'tex-mik) /after/ the `(load "auctex.el" nil t t)' statement. > I coundn't find a customize option > to change to tex-mik, so I tried to change in auctex.el tex-site to tex- > mik: that worked but again only if I first copy tex-mik. > > Did something go wrong during the installation?

Maybe he recommends to create a site-start.el file? The AUCTeX installation routine does not create it itself. With AUCTeX 11.81 you have to remove the files auctex.el, tex-site.el, and preview-latex.el (if you installed preview-latex as well) from the site-lisp directory of your Emacs installation (assuming this is on Windows and AUCTeX was configured with --prefix=<drive>:/path/to/emacs/dir) as well as the auctex directory. You can delete the auctex.info and preview-latex.info files from the info directory as well. If you want to spare yourself all this hassle you can download a precompiled CVS Emacs including AUCTeX 11.81 from <URL:ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>. There isn't needed much more than just unpacking it a the desired place to get going. You just have to add (require 'tex-mik) to your init file. AUCTeX's activation is already done by the distribution. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
