Font lock mode and auctex

Font lock mode and auctex

[azubi]

Hi all,

recently (I don't know when exactly), I've experienced an error message 
when trying to load a "Latex" file.

I've the following message:

File mode specification error: (void-variable font-lock-face-attributes)

when I use emacs-snapshot (27.0.50) or


File mode specification error: (error "Invalid byte opcode: op=183, ptr=2")
File local-variables error: (error "Invalid byte opcode: op=183, ptr=2")

with emacs 24.5.1 (see below)


Then the file I try to edit is loaded, but without fontification and 
auctex is not loaded. I must say that for every other type of file (org, 
C, html, java, scala) I regularly edit, I did not see any problem.

My config:

GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 
2018-02-26  or

GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 
2017-09-20 on lcy01-07, modified by Debian

The version of auctex is the latest available (12.1.0) on elpa.



I do not know how to debug this error message exactly. The 
"--debug-init" flags gives for emacs-24.5.1:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function cl-defstruct)
   (cl-defstruct latex-math-preview-symbol source display func args

and nothing for emacs-snapshot. Can you please give me some pointer 
where to search ?


Thank you in advance for your help

font-lock-face-attributes was declared obsolete in Emacs-20(!) and
removed soon after.  You must be running some seriously out of date code.

The file that includes the above code is missing a (require 'cl-lib).
