Re: How to fix GS problem


Hello!
I have the same problem  as the original poster (I also use Vista), yet, 
I have added ghostcript to my Path. The thing is, I am not sure to do it
correctly: first, I have two Path
variables, one is a user variable (which I created), one is a system 
variable. 
I used to put everything in the user variable, is it correct?

Also, what is the path I should use? I still have a problem with that. 
Indeed, say that my gswin32c.exe is here: 
C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.53\bin.

Do I have to put this in my PATH? 
Or C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.53\bin\gswin32c?

I have added the former both to my user PATH and my system PATH, and now when I
run a preview it says: 
"gs: Interpreter revision (853) does not match gs_init.ps revision (707)".

What does it mean?

Creating a "recent files" list and problem with math mode and french keyboard

Hi to all!!!

I am pursuing my discovery of Emacs (after also trying ViM, but I decided that I
prefer Emacs) and it is really great. The AucTeX package is also awesome, even
though I still don't use all its capabilities. Thanks to all those that maintain
AucTeX, like David and Ralf (the only two I know of)!

I have two questions though. 

First, I would like to create a "recent files" list in Emacs in Windows. I also
use Aquamacs on my iMac, and there is this option in the menu, which I find
really helpful when I edit many files at the same time. I have seen in my
\library\Preferences folder that there is a "recent files.el" file which is
certainly what I should try to do for Windows. Is there a way to implement it?
And how do I add a menu for this in the "File" directory in emacs (something
like "Open Recent")?

Second, am I french and we, in France use fuc... AZERTy keyboards. Hence, I have
a problem with the keybindings for math expressions like greek letters.
Normally, it is "C-`" but the ` is not really usable for me: I have to hit Alt
GR + 7 twice!
So I decided to change the mapping to "ZZ"; Why ZZ you might ask? Well, I first
tried MM like "Maths" before it dawned on me that I wouldn't be able to write
capital M. Truely, I could capitalize the word later on, but still... Since I
don't plan to begin a phrase with a word beginning by "Z", this is ok. Still, I
am not sure this is really efficient. What do you guys think or do?

Thanks for any feedback!

I have no idea what you call a "user variable" here.

Yes.

That your Ghostscript internal search path finds its files in a tree
from a Ghostscript 7.07 installation.

Try
M-x recentf-mode RET

If you like it, you may use
M-x customize-variable RET on it in order to save it for future sessions.

Re: How to fix GS problem

Thanks David!
It turned out that TexLive 2005 installed an older version of Ghostcript,
 i.e. the 7.07 and there was a conflict with the new version
 I installed later on.
Well, now it works fine, and with pdflatex, I can even see my figures,
 this is great!
I am loving it more and more.
 I still need to make Acrobat close before compiling my .tex file again. 
I think I already talk with Ralf about that a few weeks ago but it seems 
difficult to implement on windows. 
Someone told me it is because of Acrobat, but I am not so
sure since I also use Winedt on Windows, and it opens Acrobat 
automatically when I compile with Ppdflatex, then, when I recompile again,
it refreshes the pdf.
Hence, I guess it is possible to make it work that way.

reftex installation

Hello:
Can anybody help me in installing reftex in windows xp? I could install AUCTeX by just unzipping it into the correct directory of XEmacs. Seems like this doesnt work for reftex as it is not a standard package of XEmacs anymore? Could anybody help me by telling me how to manually install reftex in XEmacs under windowsXP?
regards
Baburaj

That would be news to me.  RefTeX has been part of the XEmacs "sumo
package" for eternities.  If you don't install Sumo (well, at least
you would probably not want the AUCTeX coming with Sumo, but it should
be easy to deinstall it using the package manager), you can still use
the package manager of XEmacs to install RefTeX.

Activating it is a different procedure and described in its info
manual.

... which will install an outdated version.

Outdated as compared to what?  Our CVS?  Sure, but that's not much of
a surprise.  Please don't tell me that we have the same sort of
hair-tearing "not our problem" XEmacs experience for RefTeX to expect
that we have for AUCTeX.

I really am not eager to do the whole XEmacs package building and
offering business for _another_ package.
