Please don't toppost with fullquote below and please keep the mailing list copied. Actually, this arguably does not belong on the developer list since it is clearly a user level problem (though configuration related).

If you don't have a pdflatex command in your PATH, you can't use it. As to why you might not have pdflatex in your PATH, all bets are off since you don't give any detail pertaining to your system (except that it is likely not a laptop) and your installation. You might want to use M-x TeX-submit-bug-report RET or the respective menu entry for submitting problem reports. This would at least have given us the information which system you have. Anyway, once you get M-! pdflatex RET to give out more than "command not found" (which is not really an AUCTeX issue but a matter of setting up your system properly), you might be all set. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
