Â« Can you send a backtrace of this error?  To do this, insert
Â« 
Â« (setq debug-on-error t)
Â« 
Â« as the first line into your init file, restart Emacs and open a LaTeX
Â« file.  When the error occurs, a buffer with the backtrace should
Â« open.

My .emacs file now holds just these 2 lines
(setq debug-on-error t)
(require 'tex-site)

No *Backtrace* buffer is produced when I open a .tex file,
so I followed the advice I get in the *Messages* buffer:
I start emacs with

flipo% emacs --debug-init .&

Then I get a *Backtrace* buffer* which I append here.

Thanks a lot to all of you!

Daniel Flipo.
