[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When compiling with lualatex in Aquamacs by pressing the button PDF, I obtain the
following error message :
Unable to read locale data: please check the 'locale' settings of your environment for consistency. Exiting now.

Hereafter thr ECM file :

Can you compile your file from the command line in a shell?

What do get if you eval this form in the scratch buffer:

  (insert "\n" (shell-command-to-string "locale"))

Ok, sounds good.

This one is not so good.  It seems that your Emacs isn't able to start a
subprocess or something like that.  Do you start Emacs as an App?  You
could try to start Emacs from the shell where you can compile your file
and see if you can run lualatex then.

What do you get when you eval the form I sent in Emacs 29.4?  And how
did you start the newer version?

I have no experience with Aquaemacs, so I can't tell.  But I don't think
this is an AUCTeX issue, more how Emacs starts subprocesses.

Thank you very much again. I send this answer as a reply to Cc so it can be archived.

1. a message in the mailing list gut <at> ens.fr <mailto:gut <at> ens.fr> gave me the idea to pass luatex as an argument in \documentclass :

\documentclass[luatex,12pt,a4paper]{article}

This works perfectly and the issue disappears !

No more error message in Aquamacs.

This suggests that luatex initialization is different in this way.

I will go deeper later. I must familiarize with Emacs

What do you get when you eval the form I sent in Emacs 29.4?  And how
did you start the newer version?

I used GUI Emacs. I will keep your advice. Many thanks.
