Enhanced Carbon Emacs' LaTeX abilities in XEmacs (and AUCtex loading problem)

Enhanced Carbon Emacs' LaTeX abilities in XEmacs (and AUCtex loading problem)

[Hans-Joachim Daniels]

Hello,

I'm new here, so I hope you don't bite if I mention XEmacs ...

On the iBook of my sister I had the pleasure to have a wonderfully 
preconfigured Emacs for LaTeX.
But back on my linux box, this is no more, but I read, that it should be 
possible to "enhance"  XEmacs too.

I added

(setq load-path (cons "~/.xemacs/site-lisp" load-path))
(require 'site-start)

to my ~/.emacs in hope to load these additions (with the site-lisp 
directory of the Enhanced Carbon Emacs).

But not even AUCtex loads (it is installed). That was the main reason I 
wanted to uses ECE's site-lisp was that I didn't figure out how to load 
AUCtex. So if you could help me here, I would be glad too.

Thanks in advance,

Ha-Jo

Heresy! It's not the True One Editor (just kidding)!

In  XEmacs like  in  Emacs you  should  tell somewhere  Emacs to  load
automatically  a certain  mode for  a certain  type (better:  name) of
file.

Something like this:

(autoload 'latex-mode "latex-mode" "LaTeX Mode" t)

Then some other code to turn on LaTeX automatically:

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.tex$" . latex-mode) auto-mode-alist))

;; This adds the association between latex-mode and the files ending by .tex to
;; the lists of mode to be turned out automatically.

Hallo again,

> Heresy! It's not the True One Editor (just kidding)!

Your right, at least partially.
I got the automatical LaTeX-mode working in XEmacs. Thanks.
But still no AUCtex. For that I installed the True One Original. Same 
result, but this time an answer. AUCtex not in load-path.
(A bug report has already been issued to the deb maintainer, so waiting 
could help=
But I tried to adjust that by myself, but failed.
Files not compiled in Emacs.

So probably I'll wait a bit  (if the compiling is a bit more complex and 
messes up the files for XEmacs and more important for the debs)


Greetings,

Ha-Jo

AUCTeX comes with a manual.  "Installation" will tell you to put
(require 'tex-site) in your .emacs file.

I read and tried that before posting.
But it didn't help because Debian does not put it in the load path.

At least for the True Emacs  I could use the AUCtex compiled for 
Enhanced Carbon Emacs, but for XEmacs I have no AUCtex yet. There 
pointing to that directory with

(setq load-path (cons "~/.xemacs/site-lisp/auctex" load-path))
(require 'tex-site)

did not help. Probably because it is compiled for the Emacs.
But using the path to the XEmacs package did not help.

Thanks for your efforts,

Ha-Jo

Then Debian does not have its head screwed on soundly, at least if
you installed some AUCTeX package.

What has Debian to do with Carbon?

XEmacs comes with its own AUCTeX via the package repository.

?
$ dpkg -L auctex | grep tex-site
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el

Actually, Debian's auctex can work out of the box since package
configuration asks whether to enable it globally.

Hello,

OK. That was my mistake.
I was absolutely sure that I had the debian AUCtex package installed.
But I hadn't.
For some reason, the one of XEmacs was shown as installed and up to 
date, but didn't work.
But now I (really) installed the deb (there was a bug report which 
sounded like my problem so I thought it to be the same) and now it works.

Thanks for your help and sorry for my stupidness,

It does so.
I just got confused by
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=214576
.
I thought this was connected to my problem.

My fault, sorry,
