And I _did_ tell you to use [email protected] instead and explained why. So I am manually diverting this from the auc-tex list at Sunsite, and apologize that people will not see the original posting (if I moderated it through, it would appear on auctex instead of bug-auctex, and replies would again go to Sunsite). > Emacs : XEmacs 21.4 (patch 17) "Jumbo Shrimp" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) > of Wed May 25 2005 on uzeb > Package: AUCTeX 11.55 Your version of AUCTeX is completely outdated: 11.55 was released on 2005-02-04, 11.81 was released on 2005-09-25, about a year ago. By now we habe 11.83 and will soon have 11.84. You are likely using the Sumo tarball from XEmacs. This contains an outdated and partly broken version of AUCTeX. There is no active AUCTeX maintainer among XEmacs developers at the moment, so it is not likely that they'll even fix the wrong mailing list addresses. Please uninstall AUCTeX via the package manager, then install a new version from <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/auctex-11.83-pkg.tar.gz>. This is a perfectly viable and working XEmacs package, but since it was not created using XEmacs' development tools, it will not get accepted into XEmacs by the XEmacs development team. Which is actually a pity, since AUCTeX-11.83 also comes with preview-latex integrated. If your problems with the documentation not matching the code persist with this package, please report back to this list. If not, you might consider suggesting to the XEmacs developers that they change the documentation for the outdated variant of AUCTeX they choose to distribute. There is really nothing that we can do upstream about that. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
