While installing emacs addons like auctex, it'll search /opt/local/bin for emacs and it dooms to fail. I myself use emacs-app and now I build it manually. I dont do ./compile as instructed but in standard three steps (I build from emacs-app bzr repo in Savannah, not 9.0rc3): ,---- | ./configure --with-ns --without-x --enable-ns-app --prefix=/usr/local --without-freetype | make -j4 bootstrap | sudo make install `---- (For port file /usr/local should be changed to /opt/local) So I trust if emacs-app port file is revised to do a standard build instead of a self-contained one, your problem will be solved.I suppose so since I never install emacs addons thru Macports. I always do manual building and installation.
