Hi,
Might be Emacs and not AucTeX that cause the problems but it was AucTeX that triggered my problems, and I wanted to make you aware...
I have a clean installation of Emacs for Mac 25.1.1 and pulled a fresh auctex from github (see script below).
In my .emacs I have reduced everything to to (load "auctex.el" nil t t)
When I try to open a LaTeX-file I get the message:
File mode specification error: (void-variable LaTeX-preview-setup)
Any clues or instructions?
As a follow-up: I have downgraded to Emacs 24.5 and AucTeX pulled from git works fine there.
Best,
Lars
