This sounds like you haven't restarted XEmacs, and you already
have
AUCTeX loaded in that XEmacs. Emacs Lisp does not provide a reliable
way to unload a package, and there's no good way to tell it to reload
all of the libraries in a package. The only way to ensure that
upgrades to Lisp files on disk take effect is to restart XEmacs.
I restarted xemasc, several times even now here comes the surprise
Locate-library gives:
,----
|
| Library is file /home/oub/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/tex.elc
|
`----
BUT
Describe-variable still gives:
,----
|
| `AUCTeX-version' is a variable declared in Lisp.
| -- loaded from
"/usr/local/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/auctex/auto-autoloads"
|
| Value: "11.84"
|
| Documentation:
| AUCTeX version.
| If not a regular release, the date of the last change.
`----
It seems that auctex 11.87 is used at least partially but before
proceeding I would like to sort out this mess.
