Supplementary explanation follows. AUCTeX has two schemes of installation. (I'm sorry if you already know this matter.) [A] Traditional scheme using configure, make, make install In this way, system administrator can perform system-wide installation. All the users on that machine share the common default settings, including `TeX-parse-self'. On the other hand, individual normal user can perform personal installation with this scheme, by giving suitable options to configure script. The default value of `TeX-parse-self' only affects that particular user. [B] Modern scheme, namely ELPA This scheme always makes personal installation. Although this is not exactly the same as the personal installation of [A], only the particular user who executed installation from ELPA is concerned about the default value of `TeX-parse-self'. > From your argument in your previous message, I thought that > (1) the parsing of the TeX installation tree would happen to all > emacs users if the variable is set by default. This story refers to the system-wide installation of the above [A]. > But according to this latest of yours, it seems that > (2) the parsing of the TeX installation tree would happen > to those users who explicitly install AUCTeX through ELPA. This is [B]. I hope this information be of help to clarify your thought.
