If "M-x TeX-command-master" works, you could assign the command to C-c C-c in the configuration file. If it does not work, check whether xemacs is in LaTeX mode when you open a .tex file. If it is in LaTeX mode, then I am stumped. If not, I don't recall how to bring up minor modes, but the emacs manual should help. If it does not, let me know and I'll try to find out.

The only thing that I could see different from your installation is that the latest version of xemacs 21 in lenny is 21.4.21-4. So you might try updating. You do have the latest version of auctex.

The process is more complex than with mysql, but the rationale is reasonable. -- Bob Parnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Start postgresql for the first time
After using mysql for several years, I decided to try the testing version of postgresql, but I cannot get started. I cannot log in to create users, and I cannot create a database. According to the documentation, the system contains a predefined user, 'postgres'. However, when I run psql -U postgres I get the error message, 'No database specified'. When I run psql -U postgres -l I get the message, 'IDENT authentication failed for user "postgres"'. I find a similar problem with createdb. According to the documentation, a default database is created with the same name as the user, but the directory /var/lib/postgres contains only a single directory, data. When I try to create a database with createdb, I get the same problem with authentication. I feel I am doing something wrong but don't what it is. I had no trouble with mysql and will continue using it if necessary, but I would like to compare the two if possible. thanks for any help. -- Bob Parnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Problem with X/icewm
Hello, I am running a combination of stable/testing, with icewm the window manager. On starting the system today, I found that all the text was missing from the popup menu, from the task bar, and from the title bar of applications. XFree86.0.log has no error messages. I stopped the display manager (wdm) and started X from the console: same result, except that the console showed a long progression of lines, IceWm: Warning: glyph not found: XX where XX was a number. Apparently something was wiped out, but I don't know what it is. I upgraded icewm, but that did not help, so I assume that something is missing from X. Fortunately, I backed up the system early in the month, and I have extra disk space, so I was able to restore the backup on a separate partition. The working system now is the same, except for applications downloaded since the backup. The ones installed yesterday, all from testing, are: upgrade of cupsys, cupsys-client, cupsys-bsd visual-tcl, itcl3 openoffice.org As it stands, I have the option of trying to fix what went wrong or installing these applications on the restored system. If someone can suggest what may have happened and whether I can fix the old system, I would be grateful. Thanks. -- Bob Parnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
