AUCTeX not loading

iamsmrt · 2010-03-23 20:57:44

At least I don't think it is. I can't edit the pdf-viewer, can't use the customize auctex menu, etc. Here's my .emacs file:

  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.

Are you sure this is ok:

[b];; Required for auctex
(require 'tex-site)
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)[/b]

I mean \[b\]\[/b\] tags.

I only added those in the forum post to try and highlight the relevant part. Fixed the post.

I tried your .emacs file instead of mine and it still doesn't work. I'm really at a loss here, all I did was install the auctex package from the community repo and added the suggested lines to my .emacs file. Is there anything else you guys did?

bt · 2010-03-24 02:18:06

Can't be of more help. I have the same packages that you have.
Question: Does your ~/.emacs file have anything additional which might be blocking Auctex?

I posted everything from my ~/.emacs file above. I reinstalled Arch about a month ago, had AUCTeX working then with the same .emacs file and now nothing works .

EDIT: I think this is unrelated to my .emacs file. Anything I do doesn't seem to affect the loading of AUCTeX.

EDIT #2: Actually, I think AUCTeX is loading it's just that the customize auctex menu doesn't work (so I can edit the pdf viewer) and the fonts are messed up when I try pdflatex through emacs. Also for some reason the "LaTeX" and "Command" menus "disappear" sometimes.

EDIT #3: There is no tex-output-view-style option I could find as specified here http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/pac … html#SEC63, so I can't edit my pdf viewer..

Re EDIT#2: You are right -- the cutomize auctex menu does not work. I tried to edit the pdf viewer to no avail. I settled on evince which updates automatically when you edit the file, so I have decided that evince is best for me. Your needs may vary.
Regarding the disappearance of the "LaTeX" and "Command" menus -- there is a post on fixing it, and I'm told it will be fixed in an upcoming release of emacs. It's a bug -- and a nuisance.

EDIT#3: Another bug -- to be fixed.

bernarcher · 2010-03-24 14:54:06

Regarding the menu issues, the were gone since I used this wrapper in my ~/bin folder to call emacs:

$ cat bin/emacs
#!/bin/bash
#
# Open Emacs with menu guaranteed to open
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /usr/bin/emacs $* &

This way I can customize the auctex menu again.
