You should be able to re-install by downloading tarball or zip here: http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download-for-unix.html Also it seems that if you still have something like the following in your .emacs, then that should produce errors because of missing files: (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t) (setq TeX-auto-save t) (setq TeX-parse-self t) (setq-default TeX-master nil) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) (setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t) I am on w32 but I think these issues are platform independent.
