Subject: Execute Emacs command with root privilege.
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 11:08:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGP6POLP7S3c_CE_VtkwU4oqVemQeG1vjaRn4aCD2hzMR6G1Bw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

In Emacs, when I issue the 'M-x TeX-auto-generate-global' command
after loading AUCTeX, the followng error will be triggered:

TeX-auto-store: Opening output file: Permission denied,
/usr/local/var/auctex/amsppt.el

Is it possible to enable the root privilege for executing the above command?

Regards
