But I'd say the change wasn't so drastic as you think, so I really can't tell why you can't build from a fresh clone. > Simple explanation.

Again, I really suggest you drop your mercurial clone right now and stick to ELPA-devel if you need AUCTeX on a daily basis (and this is the last time I'm telling this :-) Best, Arash
