bug#5896: [Aquamacs-bugs] Cannot execute Latex From Emacs-->Auctex

[Robert Sloan]

     When I try to use LaTeX from inside Aquamacs 0.9.2b7 (c-c c-c  
and accept the default command of latex; I have N. Gall's auctex  
installed), I get the error message:

Wrong type argument: stringp, nil


     This problem does NOT occur with 0.9.2b3.  The bug appeared in  
the one beta in between those two I tried; I think it was 5 but it  
might have been 6.

     I am running Tiger 10.4.1

     For now I'm happily using the 0.9.2b3, but figured I should  
report this bug.

Possibly relevant parts of my .emacs:
