setting up emacs + slackbuild auctex in 14.1
In 14.0 installing auctex from slackbuilds and adding (load "auctex.el" nil t t) to .emacs was enough to get going. No such luck in 14.1:
There's no 14.1 slackbuild so I took the one from 14.0. Running the slackbuild as root it first told me that latex is not found, but that could be fixed by adding /usr/share/texmf/bin to root's path. However, installing the slackbuild and editing the .emacs file did not work, commands like C-c C-e are still unknown, also the additional menus don't show up. Perhaps the game has changed and this is no longer the way to install auctex? |
Hi there,
I have just tested it and everything works fine: 1. Grab the slackbuild script for 14.0 from slackbuilds.org 2. Grab the latest version of auctex http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ 3. Adjust the version numbers in slackbuild scripts (11.86 => 11.87) as well as MD5SUM 4. Make the slackbuild executable 5. Use a login shell: "su -" No need to add anything to root's path. Whenever you build any slackbuild, it's strongly recommended to use a login shell ("su -" and not "su"). This will ensure all the necessary tools/libraries are in root's path. 6. Add the following to ~/.emacs: Code:
(load "auctex.el" nil t t) I have just successfully compiled and viewed a simple .tex file. HTH |
Thanks, the upgrade to 11.87 and the "su -" did the trick.

Excellent. Glad to be of help.
