------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I apologize if this has already been fixed, but I couldn't find anything
related to this in the git repository.)

I just upgraded AUCtex from 11.87 to 11.88 on two of my machines through ELPA. 
In both cases, I get the following error message:
"""
~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.88/auctex.el:Error: Opening directory: no such
file or directory, /home/alex/style/
"""

As a workaround, I can hard-code the path to the style directory
("~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.88/style") in auctex.el and then AUCtex
loads without a hitch.

I cannot reproduce this error on my system with a fresh installation
from ELPA.  What did you change exactly in auctex.el?

Bye,

Thanks.  Instead of "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.88/style" did you have
"style"?  In this case, I cannot see why you should need to do that
manual change.  Do you have customization related to AUCTeX in your
init file?  Could you please try to remove the package and then
reinstall it in a clean Emacs session?

To me, it looks more an Emacs bug than an AUCTeX one, if it's really a bug.

Please, do not remove 19273 <at> debbugs.gnu.org from the CC list.

Bye,
Mosè

You were right: the problem was caused by an old
(load "auctex.el")
line in my init file; somehow I thought that was still required. Everything
works fine now that I've removed it.

Same here. I also have the problem. I got rid of my previous AUCTeX 
installation from the package manager, and ran
emacs -Q
M-x package-install RET auctex

The solution by Alexandre also works with me.

As a general rule for packages installed through ELPA, you must *not*
load them with `load', the package manager takes care of it, unless
you explicitly request not to do so.
