The `auctex' package in Debian is supposed to be used with Emacs, not XEmacs.

(It can load a ~/.emacs file or convert it to a ~/.xemacs/init.el file under certain circumstances, though.) -- Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The simplest solution would be to replace xemacs with emacs-x11, which is the same as your console emacs, but with X11 support as well. This is what I use on the odd times I need ot monkey about with latex. -- Stephen Patterson http://patter.mine.nu/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] remove SPAM to reply Linux Counter No: 142831 GPG Public key: 252B8B37 Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

xemacs & auctex again....
A few days ago I wrote the following message to this list (unfortunately, as a sender unknown by the list): Context: Pentium 4, linux debian testing, kde. I've just installed xemacs21 to compile latex files under kde as I'm usually doing with emacs & auctex in a console. But differently from emacs which displays a new menu when inputing a .tex file with the "command" menu the deb packaged xemacs21 doesn't modify the standard menu although it warns "loading tex-mode DONE". What shall I do to make xemacs21 modify its menu as soon as a .tex file is loaded? Ciao - Vittorio >>> Ralf Angeli from auctex mailing list answered suggesting to follow the instruction for the installation. Well here a phylosophical issue is coming up. As a debian user I would have expected that the boxed deb package had taken care automagically of all the installation issues as the other deb packages had done when I installed ESS and the support for perl in xemacs. From Ralf's suggestion I've now got the idea that as far as auctex is concerned the deb package doesn't do the installation completely. Am I right in this assumption? Besides, having read the html installation instructions coming with the boxed package, I've looked for the default.el file in my tree but I couldn't find it. Furthermore I've put the (require 'tex-site) line in my $HOME/.emacs file to no avail! Please help
