I've had problems like this and they were due to differences in environment variables. When you run it in a shell, is that a shell inside Emacs? Even so, if you are setting TeX related environment variables like TEXINPUTS in your .bashrc, then they won't get picked up by Emacs on OS X, _unless_ you started Emacs from a shell. The way to set environment variables in OS X is in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist though of course you can also set them in your .emacs. FWIW I keep environment.plist updated automatically using a method similar to the one found here: http://use.perl.org/~brian_d_foy/journal/8915 HTH, Ivan _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
