Anyway, some more advice: mixing installations is the worst idea whatsoever. I think, however, that you should have a reasonable chance to compile an RPM file yourself: Just get the latest suse src RPM file from the download site of AUCTeX at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex> and do an rpmbuild --rebuild on it. You should have a reasonable chance of having this work. If not, you can deinstall AUCTeX and do a ./configure, make, make install from the tarball. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
