[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

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

Good, then I close this bug.  Although it is really strange that you
could pin this one single commit which seems to have broken things for
you.  The code in question is exactly the same in the ELPA version.

package.el, the Emacs package manager, generates a
<package>-autoloads.el file in case it's not already contained in a
package (which it is not in the case of auctex).  That file contains an
appropriate load-path addition.

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.

Bye,
Tassilo
