        ./configure --with-lispdir=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs -- 
with-emacs=/usr/local/bin/emacs-22.0.93 --with-auto-dir=/tmp --with- 
texmf-dir=/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs --with-doc-dir=/usr/local/gwTeX/ 
texmf.pkgs

The emacs binary plays no big role. It's just needed to byte-compile  
some ELisp files. It has to fulfill one condition: its major-version  
has to be as low as the eldest version of Emacs to use AUCTeX. So you  
can use Apple's /usr/bin/emacs.

The option --with-lispdir should pass a path that is in Emacs' load- 
path. A directory as the one I used can easily be added in the  
system's init file. This directory is used to install the AUCTeX  
ELisp files.

--with-packagedir=DIR plays a role only for XEmacs.

--with-auto-dir=<some dir> seems to fail for me: I get directories  
called "auto" in all those directories I use AUCTeX to compile TeX  
files in them. I hoped these auto directories would be delegated to / 
tmp. Could be a better choice is:

        --with-auto-dir=/tmp/emacs`id -u`

but then the output of id -u should be evaluated late, when the user  
starts to load auctex.el, or all users would write into that  
directory. Maybe it's better to leave it!

Which version of AUCTeX are you trying to install?


     Mac OS X
           A precompiled version including an installer as well as
           preinstalled versions of AUCTeX and preview-latex is
           available from
           `http://homepage.mac.com/zenitani/emacs-e.html'.

When in doubt, use brute force.
