Probably because none of the active AUCTeX developers owns a Mac. But I think even when installing for Emacs under Windows configure does not find all directories by itself. In the top-level Makefile of AUCTeX there is a target for the precompiled AUCTeX package for Windows and the configure call looks like this: ./configure --prefix=$(WBUILDDIR)/emacs-$(WEMACSVER) \ --without-texmf-dir --with-emacs=$(WEMACS) \ --with-lispdir=$(WBUILDDIR)/emacs-$(WEMACSVER)/site-lisp \ --datarootdir=$(WBUILDDIR)/emacs-$(WEMACSVER) \ Something along those lines might work for you as well if you exchange the variables with proper values for your system. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
