Re: Bug#297181: auctex dont't install

Bonjour Jean-Jacques,

please keep the bugnumber address in the Cc line. I'm also adding the
AUC-TeX mailing list to it, because it seems I need some help in
debugging. Davide, are you around currently?

That looks okay so far.

This is strange to me - this function is defined in a very basic part of
auctex.  Does the file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/tex.el exist,
and is there a tex.elc in /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/auctex/?  What
happens if you start emacs as root (if it tries to start as an X11
application, but may not, please use "emacs -nw".  Please switch to the
*Messages* buffer, one line should read 

Loading 50auctex (source)...done

Now please do M-x locate-library RET tex RET

and send us the output.

Thanks in advance,
Frank
