I think we should look at what's happening when you start Emacs with
"emacs -Q" and a minimal setup and then try to debug this issue. For
me, it works when I start Emacs from the CLI with "emacs -Q" and eval
this in the scratch buffer:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(progn
(package-initialize t)
(package-activate 'auctex)
(server-start)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)
(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "displayline")))
(setq TeX-view-program-list
'(("displayline"
"/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline %n %o %b"
"displayline"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I tried it with these files:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is some text.
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:1}
a + b = c
\end{equation}
\include{Temp/sub-file.tex}
\begin{verbatim}
Some verbatim text
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: LaTeX
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% TeX-source-correlate-mode: t
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This is some text in a sub-file.
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: LaTeX
%%% TeX-master: "../mwe.ltx"
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in this directory layout:

Best, Arash
