Under debian testing I use the standard kde desktop. I installed the tetex package from the texlive2003 DVD (the deb tetex packages seem to have dependencies problems in my box) and tex commands are located under /usr/local/TeX/bin, directory that I added both to the PATH in /etc/profile and to ~/.bash_profile.
Now if a use xemacs in a shell, in a terminal window auctex is able to find the latex and pdflatex commands. In a nutshell it all works correctly. Instead if I use the application icon of xemacs on the kde desktop it doesn't seem to be aware of the new path I set up, in a nutshell: auctex is unable to start the applications latex and pdflatex in /usr/local/TeX/bin. How does it come? What should I do? Ciao - Vittorio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
