how to point at (latex) compiling error line ?

how to point at (latex) compiling error line ?

[Pierre Albarede]

Hello.

I would like emacs to point at any latex compiling error line, right in the 
source buffer. So far (see .emacs below), I only get edition in the log window, 
with ugly format (and after answering E to tex).

Same problem with any compiler providing error line number.

Thanks for hints.

You are obviously using AUCTeX.  AUCTeX can jump to the next error
when you type C-c ` but it would appear that you have overwritten the
commands that it uses for that purpose.

Why?
