Mosè Giordano m...@gnu.org writes: Thanks for the report. Mosè, it seems the error comes from the code you added in commit 59ccf3416d53064785d3feee8bcbf8074612386a which checks if the viewer executable actually exists. Shawn uses windows where the viewer is start. Maybe that's some internal command you cannot find with `executable-find'? E.g., something like a shell builtin command like alias in bash/zsh? We need to know which is the problem: if it's what you suggested (start is not strictly a binary and `find-executable' cannot find it) then we can just remove start from the list of executable to be checked. I just tested on a Windows machine here at my university, and (executable-find start) indeed returns nil. Admittedly, I don't use Windows and I wasn't able to test the change on that system, but I made a research and I understood that start was a system program or something like that. Again, if it's not an executable, remove the third element of the start item in `TeX-view-program-list-builtin' and we'll need to fix it also upstream. I did that now in the auctex git repository. Um, could you please teach me how to sync that change to ELPA? I know there's something better than manual diff/patch, no?

Hi Tassilo, 2015-01-27 3:20 GMT-05:00 Tassilo Horn t...@gnu.org: I did that now in the auctex git repository. Probably you would like to remove the check for start from the dvips and start viewer as well ;-) Um, could you please teach me how to sync that change to ELPA? I know there's something better than manual diff/patch, no? Add to your AUCTeX repository the elpa remote git remote add elpa git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/elpa.git and then fetch the AUCTeX branch git fetch elpa externals/auctex:elpa Now you should be able to merge one branch into the other, or cherry-pick single commits from them, this is what I did for a commit by Stefan Monnier some weeks ago.

Yeah, cool, except that I needed to use the ssh://tsdh@... url in order to be able to push.

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.
Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report. In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX. So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.
If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.
Your report will be posted for the auctex package at the GNU bug
tracker. Visit http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=auctex

Minimal Document:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello!
\end{document}
The latex file compiles just fine, however when the viewer is invoked
(from either the menu, C-c C-c or C-c C-v) the following error is
produced:
Cannot find start viewer. Select another one in
'TeX-view-program-selection'.
This occurs when I upgrade from 11.88 to 11.88.1. When I remove 11.88.1
and revert back to 11.88, the function is working just fine.
Because I was setting emacs up on another computer, I confirmed that
this error occured with a fresh installation of emacs with no .emacs file
as
well as my heavily edited .emacs. Reverting from 11.88.1 to 11.88 fixed
the issue on this computer as well.
