I did not add the search path explicitly as it was placed under the = site-lisp directly inside the emacs distribution /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp This directory should be available automatically by emacs. Emacs does = find and execute the main auctex-file, so I believed that the path was = not necessary. This might be my error. A correction: I made a mistake in my test with the 24.5, I was too quick on the = keyboard With the auctex error there is no syntax highlighting. I = installed 24.5 and AucTeX and opened emacs with a latex file and got = syntax highlighting so I believed auctex was loaded but it was not, at = the time of me sending the mail. Some more testing showed that my Mac = had started Emacs from the dmg file that was still open at the time of = testing and only loaded the standard latex mode and gave me syntax = highlighting and I jumped to the conclusion that all was working=E2=80=A6 = But when the dmg was unmounted AucTeX was not working. So the latest AucTeX-build did not work on 24.5=E2=80=A6. I later tried the old Au11.89 and Em 24.5 without success (same error) = so I went for Au 11.88 and Em 24.5 and can confirm that this works for = me.

Thank you for your prompt response, sorry for not responding = earlier.

I did not = add the search path explicitly as it was placed under the site-lisp = directly inside the emacs distribution
 /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp
This directory should be available = automatically by emacs. Emacs does find and execute the main = auctex-file, so I believed that the path was not necessary. This might = be my error.

A = correction:
I made a mistake in my test with the = 24.5, I was too quick on the keyboard With the auctex error there is no = syntax highlighting. I installed 24.5 and AucTeX and opened emacs with a = latex file and got syntax highlighting so I believed auctex was loaded = but it was not, at the time of me sending the mail. Some more testing = showed that my Mac had started Emacs from the dmg file that was still = open at the time of testing and only loaded the standard latex mode and = gave me syntax highlighting and I jumped to the conclusion that all was = working=E2=80=A6 But when the dmg was unmounted AucTeX was not = working.

So = the latest AucTeX-build did not work on 24.5=E2=80=A6.
I later tried the old Au11.89 and Em 24.5 without success = (same error) so I went for Au 11.88 and Em 24.5 and can confirm that = this works for me.
I have AucTex in the = distribution place
 /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp
and 

Hope this helps some one:

Best,
Lars

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:

I see that = you're passing to configure an explicit --with-lispdir, did
you add to your init file the line

  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp")

before loading auctex.el, as explained in the = manual?

I = have now tested AucTeX (from git) on Emacs 25.1-1 on Mac and I am sorry = to say that adding load paths did not help in my case. Same error, = independent of load path. I have tried both without and with the = addition of one and both of the following load paths before loading = auctex.el
(add-to-list 'load-path = "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path = "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/auctex")
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)

=46rom = the debugger output below I have found that the error is encountered = when it evaluates TeX-latex-mode() in the file latex.el.

That's no surprise, since it's = the only place where the function is
called ;-)  The = point is that the function should be called only if
it's = available, but when it's called it turns out that it's not
actually there.

If you're = familiar with git, can you please run git bisect in order to
look for the offending revision?  You can use = "release_11_88" as good
revision, and "release_11_89" as = the bad one.

Thanks,

Oh, right. In the case of auctex, the generated autoloads file adds the latter entry and in tex-site.el there's also code that adds the former entry. That shouldn't cause any harm but I should probably change the code in tex-site.el so that no duplicate entry will be added.
