Re: path problem in auctex

Nope, its value is:


,----
| 
| `TeX-style-private' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "tex"
| 
| Value: ("/home/oub/tex/sty/auto/")
| 
| Documentation:
| List of directories containing hand-generated AUCTeX style files.
| 
| These correspond to the personal TeX macros.
`----

I tried it with and without the "/" at the end of the path.

However the value of TeX-style-path is

,----
| `TeX-style-path' is a variable declared in Lisp.
|   -- loaded from "tex"
| 
| Value: ("/usr/local/var/auctex/" "/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex/style" "/home/oub/.emacs.d/auctex/auto" "/home/oub/.emacs.d/auctex/style" "auto" "style")

| Documentation:

Where you can see that the value of TeX-style-private is missing. The same
operation in GNU emacs leads to a correct value of TeX-style-path.

Tassilo suspects that it is the (add-to-list 'path file t)
call which might cause the problem, and has changed it.

A workaround is to customize directly TeX-style-path, which I am doing
right now. I was just curious to understand the reason behind this.
