I've installed this and now get the following error:

I saw some discussion related to this in the mailing list-archives
but to be honest I didn't really understand it.
The current situations seems obviously wrong though. Even if tex.el's
definition of TeX-lisp-directory is fine we still can't use it before
actually loading tex.el.

Hm, I took Jan's advice and removed the var from tex-site.el (sorry,
Jan, if I read you wrong). After seeing this error myself and
re-reading the AucTeX INSTALL file I now realise that this approach
was wrong.
I think the correct thing to do is to put the defvar back into
tex-site.el and set it to the same as the default setting for it in
tex.el.
I'll roll another AuxTex package later today after Adrian finishes
with the CVS repositories.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Gunnar.

Actually I think this is wrong too. The default in tex.el is
(locate-data-directory "auctex"), it needs to be:
(concat
(locate-data-directory "auctex")
"style/")

Do XEmacs really need the
(add-to-list 'load-path TeX-lisp-directory)
line? I thought the packaging system did that automatically.

Hi Per!
Ordinarily, no. But in the case of the XEmacs AucTeX package it's
needed.
This is because the files that 'TeX-lisp-directory' points to end up
in <emacs-roots>/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex/style/. The ./etc/
directories don't normally show up in the load-path.
Because the XEmacs package doesn't use your install procedure I have
changed the default for 'TeX-lisp-directory' in tex-site.el from
"＠AUCDIR" to:
This kills two birds with one stone: AucTeX can now find the files in
./etc/auctex/style/, and, XEmacs users now won't have the string,
"＠AUCDIR" in their load-path. :-)

It would be very bad for that directory to end up in 'load-path'.
AUC TeX uses 'TeX-style-path', not 'load-path', for searching for
files. It won't find them if they are in 'load-path', and there they
might shadow other real Lisp packages.
The files in the "style/" and "auto/" directories are application
specific data files, not general purpose Lisp packages. The fact that
they are are in Lisp format is an accident of implementation.
(defvar TeX-lisp-directory (concat (locate-data-directory
"auctex")
"style/") "*The directory where the AUC TeX lisp files are
located.")
That is bad too, it will mean "../etc/auctex/style/style/" will end up
in 'TeX-style-path' instead of "../etc/auctex/style/", preventing AUC
TeX from finding the style files.

OK. So, would the best solution for getting rid of the string
"＠AUCDIR" from the load-path be to comment out the TeX-lisp-directory
defvar _and_ comment out '(add-to-list 'load-path TeX-lisp-directory)'
from tex-site.el?

I skim it. CC'ing to auc-tex is a good way to make me see it sooner.
The current situations seems obviously wrong though. Even if
tex.el's
definition of TeX-lisp-directory is fine we still can't use it before
actually loading tex.el.
Just remove the
(add-to-list 'load-path TeX-lisp-directory)
I believe the XEmacs package system do that automatically

No not intentional, just impossible to do unless I had a time

sent the patch. :-)

I'll look at your patch and probably include it later on today.
Thanks for reminding me of it though.
