If you hit C-c C-l you can view the log, which probably has a
line like

/bin/sh: latex: command not found

I had to modify my PATH by adding the following to my .emacs:

(setenv "PATH" (concat "/usr/texbin:/usr/local/bin:" (getenv "PATH")))

My TeX distribution lives at /usr/texbin and I also have stuff at
/usr/local/bin. You'll need to figure out what paths you need to
add, but it will probably be something similar. This problem has
been discussed previously on this list, if you want to find out
more or check out different solutions.
