Re: Auctex in ELPA is a bit old. Recommended version?

Hi Ralf,

thanks for your answer!

OK, so I can take it that the current CVS snapshot is the recommended
way to go at this point?

> Regarding the problem you mention, maybe the snapshot is not

I wanted a local user specific install of Auctex
to `~/.emacs.d/auctex` and therefore ran
`./configure --prefix='/home/gerlach/.emacs.d/auctex'
--with-lispdir='/home/gerlach/.emacs.d/auctex/elisp'
--with-texmf-dir='/home/gerlach/.emacs.d/auctex/texmf'`
followed by `make` and  `make install`.

I have now investigated my issues further. Apparently they were caused
by some other conflicting entry in my init.el, a minimal
initialization file just with the basic Auctex/Reftex setup works
fine. For now I cannot yet say what went wrong. But I was to hasty to
attribute it to the development version.

auctex cannot find kpsewhich

Hi all,

I have a small (probably trivial) question. I'm running lubuntu 11.10
with emacs 23.3.1. and auctex installed from the ubuntu repos.
However, I installed TeX by hand (e.g. from
http://www.tug.org/texlive/ and not from the ubuntu repos). Now when I
want to enter the macro "\usepackage" through "C-c Return" I get the
following message:

Searching for program: no such file or directory, kpsewhich

I assume that auctex is looking at the wrong place for kpsewhich.
kpsewhich is installed here:
/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/kpsewhich and
/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux is in my PATH variable. (It's
being added to the PATH in my .bashrc file in my home folder.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Regards,
Laurent

I rather used the symlink option:

http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-280003.2.4

and AFAIR I wasn't facing this problem.

Maybe a poor workaround: start emacs from the command line?

.bashrc is sourced only for interactive shells, not for login shells. So
put a "if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then source $HOME/.bashrc ; fi" in
$HOME/.bash_profile to source that for login shells (where you type
"startx", and from where the environment is taken).

If you're using a login manager, ask the google how to set the
environment variables for it.

Cheers

Check the settings in
(getenv "PATH")
and
exec-path

Personally, I use

(defun TeXlive (year)
  "Use TeXlive with the given year (given as string), nil if no TeXlive."

Strange, I have installed TeXlive already several times but never
noticed the symlink option. This seems to be a comfortable way to get
around this problem. Might try it next time.

Tried this. From the command line, everything seems to work.

preview-latex with IEEEtran.cls

Hi,

I am new to AUCTeX and relatively new to LaTeX. I used to use WinEdt before trying AUCTeX.
Everything works fine with the provided "circ.tex" example and with some of my previous papers. However, when I am running preview-latex on my IEEE publications it either fails completely or produces odd looking results.

To investigate the cause of those failures I have installed the following basic toolchain:
Widows 7, emacs-23.3-bin-i386.zip, auctex-11.86-e23.3-msw.zip, MiKTeX 2.9 and gs8.71.

The class file is "IEEEtran.cls" and the latex file is "bare_jrnl.tex". The "IEEEtran.cls" file is a part of MiKTeX 2.9 distribution.
Both files are available from the following archive:
http://www.ieee.org/documents/IEEEtran.zip
(see http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors_journals.html for more information)

The only modifications I have done to the initial "bare_jrnl.tex" file are activation of "graphics" package and addition of "\includegraphics" parameter to "IEEEbiography" at the end of the file.

The screenshots of the preview-latex processing results are attached to this post.
Everything seems to be correct until "\appendices" statement, after that, the sections previews are missformatted as shown in "appendices_1.png" attachment.
After running preview-latex second time "Appendix D artifact" appears in Acknowledgement section heading, which should not be there and it does not appear after first preview-latex run. See "appendices_2.png" attachment for example.
The authors photographs in biography items are always doubled and the references section heading is also missformatted as shown in refs_and_biography.png attachment.

Is there any "simple" way to fix the described above problems, or at least, can someone point me towards the right direction to investigate it myself?

Victor.

New here

I hope it is ok to ask questions here. I'm not a really all that proficient in Linux, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I've looked over the manual and known problems, but didn't find anything relevant.


I am using Emacs 23.3.1 with ghost script 9.04 on Ubuntu 12.04

The problem is I get nothing but red signs when trying to generate previews. The error messages are incomprehensible to me. Here is one from an attempt to render a simple $A$  at a point:


gs -dOutputFile\=\(_region_.prv/tmp6465dBV/pr1-1.png\) -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -DNOPLATFONTS -dPrinted -dTextAlphaBits\=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits\=4 -sDEVICE\=png16m -r94.2656x94.3773

GS<3>

Using all my powers of logical deductive inference I presume the "gs" at the beginning of the error message indicates the problem has to something to do with ghostscript, but I'm not sure of what the rest means. I could pour through the ghostscipt docs but I was hoping perhaps I could get a helpful hint here to focus my efforts. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated :)

problem with RefTex


Hi,

Recently, I moved all my .bib file in a standard place of the LaTeX
hierarchy, namely my TEXMFLOCAL directory:

TEXMFLOCAL/bibtex/bib/subdirectories/*.bib

and now I specify, for example:

\bibliography{avionique,partitionnement,TR}

(these files being in the subdirectories of TEXMFLOCAL/bibtex/bib).

bibtex works fine, and during a while reftex worked fine too. But, for a
reason I can't understand, reftex suddently doesn't work anymore and I
get the message:

"No valid bibliography in this document, and no default available"

I work under Linux, with texlive and the latest version of AUCTeX, and I
tried several solutions:

- define BIBINPUTS to TEXMFLOCAL/bibtex/bib or TEXMFLOCAL/bibtex/bib/*
- define external file finders in order to have kpsewhich defined.

Nothing works but perhaps I don't do exactly the right thing.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

Regards/
