Hello Emacs List,
Until I messed up my site-lisp directory, I conveniently had a LaTeX drop
down menu within emacs. I didn't really use it that much it did provide me a
list of keystrokes that were useful when working with a latex document. Now
only a TeX drop down menu appears. I used to be able to run C-c C-c and then
type LaTeX to compile my document. Now when I do this I am taken to a
windows that looks exactly like my terminal instead of LaTeXing my document
automatically. Other AucTex commands don't seem to work well either.
C-c C-e should allow me to insert an environment but all it does it end the
environment I am in whereas previously I call insert a new environment of my
choice.
My /usr/share/emacs/22.2/site-lisp directory is empty through a silly move
by yours truly. I am using Ubuntu 9.04.
Thanks!
Sam

Looks like you're not using auctex at all but the built-in
tex-mode. Why don't you just reinstall the auctex-package via the
package manager?

Thanks Anselm. I tried this earlier but it did not seem to fix the problem.
Indeed it does seem like emacs is not detecting auctex at all. Not sure how
to proceed.

If its in the load-path, you could try this:
,----[ .emacs ]
! (load "auctex.el" nil t t)

But if you did this then your site-lisp subdirectory would no longer be
empty. 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.

I seem to have a few too many emacs directories:
/usr/share/emacs22/site-lisp
which has ess and auctex files in it
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp
which also has ess and auctex files in it
/usr/share/emacs/22.2/site-lisp
which is an empty folder.
The weird thing is that ESS is still working fine while auctex seems to not
be.
Lastly, a newbie question. Is the .emacs file just a text file located in
your home directory and does emacs look for it automatically there. That
probably should be a new thread but it is pertinent to my issue.
Thanks alot for your help.
Sam

Is your site-lisp directory still empty? Did you get any error
messages when you tried to reinstall auctex? What does
M-x find-library<RET>auctex<RET>
do? What's the value of the load-path variable (C-h v load-path<RET>)?
I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 myself, using the emacs-snapshot package. The elisp
files from auctex are installed in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex
on my machine, with byte-compiled versions in
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/site-lisp/auctex
Have you compiled emacs or did you use a Ubuntu package?
The way it should work is that a debianized Emacs reads all files in
/etc/emacs/site-start.d and /etc/<emacs-flavor>/site-start.d. The
packages drop their initialization code here. I've got
/etc/emacs-snapshot/site-start.d/50auctex.el
and you should have
/etc/emacs22/site-start.d/50auctex.el
Is this file present? What happens if you load it with M-x load-file?
If you really like to know how packaging emacs extensions works on
Debian you should read this:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/debian-emacs-policy
You might be interested in the part where it speaks about the
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install script (written in the
perfect emacs rewrite language, btw).
Kind regards,
Anselm

These should be (mostly) .elc (byte-compiled) files and symlinks to
.el files.

Here you should find the original .el files.

On my system /usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/site-lisp is a symlink to
/usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp.

Emacs automatically loads your .emacs unless you start it with the -q
or -Q option. And, yes, the .emacs is "just" a text file.

No
What does M-x find-library<RET>auctex<RET> do?
Can't find library

load-path is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is

So, what happens if you load it? BTW, what does M-x emacs-version say
to you?
