Re: problems with compiling auctex

I always get this error: Thomas> Symbol's value as variable is void: popup-mode-menu Menu stuff is one thing that differs between Emacs and XEmacs. Now that Emacs 21.x has been released, we can start to think about more synching, but for the last year the knowledge that they were going to do everything incompatibly again has been a real deterrent to synching work. (No, they don't do any of it AFAICT.) Thomas> suggestions how to interpret above message ? I know lisp Thomas> and scheme but never wrote stuff for emacs/xemacs. If you have Emacs, use C-h v popup-mode-menu to find out where it's defined and how it's used. You probably can get a clean compile by simply adding (defvar popup-mode-menu nil) to tex-site.el in the AUC-TeX distribution. You may want to write to the AUC-TeX maintainers about it. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
