When I open document.tex (a LaTeX file) in Emacs, it automatically starts up auctex mode. However, when I try to compile a .tex file with 'C-c C-c RET', the status line reads "LaTeX: problems after [0] pages." A buffer called *document output* is also opened that reads: """ Running `LaTeX' on `ps0' with ``latex -interaction=nonstopmode "\input" document.tex'' /bin/sh: latex: not found LaTeX exited abnormally with code 127 at Mon Feb 23 01:31:25 """ latex is in my path. When I open up a terminal, I can execute latex and 'which pdflatex' responds correctly. Below you will find some (potentially irrelevant) background info: -Using Ubuntu 8.10 -Have installed TeX Live 2008 into /home/abc/usr/local/texlive -Have added /home/abc/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/ to my $PATH (it is the directory containing all the TeXLive binaries, including latex) -Using stock Ubuntu GNU Emacs 22.2.1 I installed auctex from source with the following series of commands: ./configure --with-texmf-dir=/home/abc/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/ make sudo make install There are no errors or warnings during any of this - and the ./ configure is able to locate pdftex, emacs, etc. Any suggestions?
