I tend to agree. Usually, I install first and then adapt load-path. AUCTeX goes the other route and tries to ensure that everything will just work. The cost of that is that its installation procedure isn't very transparent. Especially, even after $ mkdir -p "$HOME/share/emacs/site-lisp" $ ./configure --prefix="$HOME" auctex still wants to install the lisp files in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp. The config.log suggests that's the case because the directory is not in load-path. But how could I add that to load-path given that configure calls emacs with --batch which implies -q?
