Sorry for being unclear about this. I meant "check out from CVS". > In the latter case all you need is the `cvs ...' command. The stuff > below is not necessary. OK, thanks for telling me this. The reason I included the stuff below was that the README.CVS states: ,----[ README.CVS ] | If you retrieved AUCTeX via CVS instead of as a regular release, | there are some files that need to be generated from their respective | source files before you can continue reasonably with the | instructions detailed in the README and INSTALL files (which will | not be present otherwise). | | Run the shell script | | ./autogen.sh | | in order to do that.

Understood. Thank you for the feedback on this, Patrick _______________________________________________ bug-auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-auctex
