It contains preview-latex. Because of "quality control policies", the XEmacs team chooses to rather distribute an utterly outdated and buggy AUCTeX package in their Sumo tarball. Once you uninstall that (using the XEmacs package manager) and install the package provided by the AUCTeX team, you should be fine. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta

As long as XEmacs continues to distribute an outdated AUCTeX as part of their Sumo tarball, any such RPM package from the AUCTeX project would conflict with the XEmacs RPM package. You have to use the XEmacs package manager for deinstalling the outdated AUCTeX and installing an up-to-date AUCTeX, and you have to repeat the process after any RPM update. I have yet to see any such "unconfirmed report", and there have been no such reports upstream from users of the package. In fact, the standard response to people reporting problems with the AUCTeX package XEmacs chooses to distribute is to tell them about the upstream XEmacs package from the AUCTeX project, and the standard reaction to that is "thanks, worked like a charm" and one rarely hears anything more from them, except when they make feature suggestions or problem reports not related to XEmacs. I think you are confusing problem reports of package users with problems of making the package fit the _build_ policies of XEmacs packages in your CVS tree. But I have seen nothing indicating any activity in this area for at least half a year. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
