Subject: Compilation error
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2024 10:46:19 -0500

Hello

I'm running the latest gnu emacs on MACOS
GNU Emacs 29.2 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin21.6.0, NS appkit-2113.60
Version 12.6.6 (Build 21G646)) of 2024-01-18

and auctex produces a compilation error in the file
context.el

it just hangs... seems to break down near
(defun ConTeXt-env-args (environment &rest args)

but even moving stuff around in the .el file leads to strange
compilation behavior.  Like there is some control character in the
text file or some such.  if I move that defun, the compilation crashes
SOONER, on the previous defun ...

very weird.

Help appreciated.

Maybe I misunderstood your message but I think you want to update your
AUCTeX installation, right?  In this case, try

  • Uninstall AUCTeX 13.x and/or 14.x via package interface
  • Close Emacs and open a new session
  • Install AUCTeX 14.0.3 via package inferface

HTH.  Best, Arash

Yes.  Did this.  It doesn’t install.
Breaks down during compilation.

Then try this:

  • Uninstall AUCTeX 13.x and/or 14.x via package interface
  • Make sure there is no AUCTeX directory under ~/.emacs.d/elpa/
  • Close Emacs and open a new session
  • Do M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET
  • Install AUCTeX 14.0.3 via package inferface
  • Send to this list what the lisp debugger says

thanks for the follow-up

I traced it down... seems something in my personal defaults was
interfering with the auctex install.
I stripped out my .emacs and then installed without my defaults.
seems to work now.

very weird.
