unable to install

Hello!

I cannot install auctex in ubuntu. Both ubuntu package installation and
source compilation end up in producing an infinitu number of "make
clean" and "/bin/sh" processes which makes the computer unusable. And
auctex is not usable. System is Ubuntu 5.04 and I use gnu-emacs.

If needed, I'd be glad to give some more detailed information.

Sorry if this is more ubuntu specific than auctex problem, but Ubuntu
forums don't seem to provide much information about it.

Regs,
Andres

You should probably use Ubuntu's bug reporting facilities.  On Debian
there is the script `reportbug' for such purpose.  I don't know if
that is available on Ubuntu as well or if they have a special script.

Automatic Extraction of New Things

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.  If the bug (or problem) 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 bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.

I want to create style support for texpower with

M-x TeX-auto-generate TEX AUTO

It works quite well, but I'm missing support for some macros defined
with 

"\newcommand{\<commandname>}

(for example \stepwise)

and some environments defined by

"\newenvironment{<environmentname>}{%

I just checked this by doing `M-x TeX-auto-generate RET texpower.sty
RET /some/directory RET' and the examples you gave are all in the
resulting texpower.el file.  This is the case with both CVS Emacs and
XEmacs 21.4.17.  The file has 286 lines.

Did you apply `TeX-auto-generate' on texpower.sty as well?  The
version I used for the test was "2005/04/08 v0.2".

Did you customize `TeX-auto-parse-length'?  Could you repeat your test
without your customizations?  To do that start XEmacs with
xemacs -q -no-site-file
, copy the things you need to activate AUCTeX into the *scratch*
buffer if it is not activated by default, e.g.
(require 'tex-site)
and type `M-x eval-buffer RET RET'.  Then try the `TeX-auto-generate'
procedure again.

Oh, that's pretty small.  In texpower.sty that means parsing stops at
line 2161.

I cannot give a general advice here.  Using the example at hand the
customization lead to problems because it reduced the maximum file
length to be parsed and the file was larger than that.

But you could have increased the value of `TeX-auto-parse-length' as
well.  This would have enabled AUCTeX to parse files longer than
covered by the default value.  If you wanted to parse such a file,
using the customization over the default would have been better.

I've increased TeX-auto-parse-length to a bigger value and parsing works
fine. I've just misinterpreted the length as number of lines and not as
number of bytes (i associate "size" with that). Perhaps you can change

Actually the length refers to the amount of characters.  I changed the
doc string accordingly.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Did you already report the AUCTeX related problem to the AUCTeX team?
If not, please do and include the exact steps to reproduce the
problem.

Bye, Reiner.
