Well, the obvious solution then would be (unload-feature 'auctex-init) or something like that.

Deleting the auctex-init.el file and filing a bug report to Fedora would seem like the appropriate fix. Two files in site-start.d for AUCTeX seem overkill. Anyway, the Fedora packaging is lacking preview-latex. I'd recommend that you get the most recent SuSE Source RPM from the AUCTeX download site and do an rpmbuild --rebuild on it: this has been reported to produce a working RPM for Fedora, including preview-latex. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
