Re: Aquamacs-bugs Digest, Vol 25, Issue 18

[Edward Mozley Roche]

Can any one tell me if they lost latex/tex functionality when  
upgrading to a newer version of Aquamacs?

There is a Tex installation on my mac that works, but Aquamacs seems  
no longer able to access it.

I don't know if this is a bug or not ... Should I reinstall an older  
version to check??

Please advise,

Edward.

Yes, there is a problem with reading the environment variables.
I would be grateful if you could try to find out what influences it.  
You will be able to see a log message in the *Messages* buffer.  When  
0 environment variables were imported, that's when you'll have trouble.

The problem seems to be that the shell that is started does not  
actually read the init files (~/.bash_profile etc.), even though it is  
started as a login shell.  If you can give any further hints, then  
that would be very helpful.


As a workaround, please create a file at

~/Library/Application Support/Aquamacs Emacs/site-prestart.el

and copy and paste the code below in.

Let me know if that fixes the problem for you reliably.

Hello Aquanauts: I am new to Aquamacs and this forum, so I apologize if I missed something relevent in my search of the archives. I had the impression that the problem Edward ran into when the shell generates the path to pdflatex has been fixed in the latest nightly builds, but I am still having difficulties. I have  worked around it by specifying the paths to latex, dvips, and tex in the preview and auctex customizations, but the pdflatex path is still being mangled in PDF Mode, and I can't figure out how to set it or the path to bibtex manually. The workaround (pdf via dvi) is fine except for the way that inserted graphics are handled differently by pdflatex and latex. Is there a fix that I missed perhaps? My Tex installation is TexLive-2007, installed via the CTAN installer and not the now unsupported i-package installer.

For those seeking an 'out of the box' solution to this problem without having to play with customization or paths, you can just installed the older teTeX distribution (gwTeX 2003-2005 using the deprecated i-installer from gerben wierda). It doesn't write over the newer MacTeX 2007 installation, as you can toggle back and forth using the TeX pane in systems preferences (each version gets installed to a separate location i.e. /usr/local/tetex vs usr/texbin ).

By choosing the older installation in the System Preferences TeX pane, preview and latex work without any customization and usr/local/tetex even includes a dvi viewer. The Aquamacs pdflatex command (PDF Mode) still mangles the path on my set-up so it's only available manually from the command line (Aquamacs Tools menu or terminal). This I can live with, as I prefer to typeset via dvi and dvips anyway, since I find the handling of eps graphics easier, but you have to make sure PDF Mode is deselected in the Aquamacs Command menu. Preview will automatically convert the .ps files to pdf or you can invoke ps2pdf from either TeX installation. Hopefully this will be fixed with the still-in-beta release of MacTex 2008, since I assume that I'm not the only one still having problems with the latest Aquamacs build?.
