Hi,

AUCTeX is installed from the Arch User Repository, and is activated in my `.emacs` via:

;; AUCTEX

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(autoload 'bibtex-mode "bibtex" "Major mode for editing BibTeX files" t)

This could well be a very outdated way of doing things, I think some parts of my .emacs go back to the early 1990's.

It is possible to start Emacs with 'emacs -Q' and activate AUCTeX
afterwards. The procedure depends on how you've installed AUCTeX. Did
you install it via ELPA or your distro's package manager? And how do
you activate AUCTeX in your init file?

Best, Arash
