I was having trouble getting auctex to know about my private macros
with auto insert macro, and I think I've figured out the problem.
I'm using auctex cvs version 11.80 as of 7/3/05 with Carbon Emacs cvs
version 22.0.50.1 as of 5/20/05. The TeX-style-path variable is
refusing to be customized. It resets outside customization every time
you quit and restart. It has the correct values for local and global
paths, but for the private style and auto paths it makes up a value.
It's hard for me to figure out exactly what rule it is using. In
Carbon Emacs it seems to use the first entry in TEXINPUTS, but I also
tried this with emacs 21.2.1 and there it made up a different value,
using a directory that doesn't exist any more! Weird.
Customizing the variable TeX-style-private has no effect on the value
of TeX-style-path, and it is the latter variable that seems to
determine where auctex looks. This is why I was having trouble. The
workaround is simply to put the private style directory where auctex
wants it to be, based on an examination of the variable TeX-style-
path. But it ought to be customizable, or at least honor the settings
of TeX-style-private.
