There is nothing like "latex interactive" in AUCTeX 11.55.  Did you
change `TeX-command-list' somehow?  In case you did, does the error go
away upon removing this customization?

How did you use it?  You should insert

(require 'tex-mik)

instead of `(require 'tex-site)' into your init file.  This should
modify the variables `TeX-view-style' and `TeX-output-view-style' in
such a way that Yap is called for viewing DVI files.  Of course, if
you have your own customizations interfering with this, it won't
work.  So my suggestion would be to try all of the above with a
minimal setup for AUCTeX.
