Wild guess: What's the value of `TeX-modes' in the setup above?
,----[ C-h v TeX-modes RET ]
| TeX-modes is a variable defined in ‘tex-site.el’.
|
| Its value is
| (tex-mode plain-tex-mode texinfo-mode latex-mode doctex-mode)
|
| List of built-in TeX modes redirected to AUCTeX modes.
|
| This variable can’t be set normally; use customize for that, or
| set it with ‘TeX-modes-set’.
`----
If that variable has sane values, then please do:
• emacs -Q
• eval:
(progn
(package-initialize t)
(package-activate 'auctex))
and open a .tex file. If that works as expected, your AUCTeX
installation should work and we have to look somewhere else.
HTH. Best, Arash
