if i do : '

/Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs\ Emacs -Q &
i can compile the latex document! 

i get the following:

tong:~/Desktop/cv/short jr$ pdflatex \\nonstopmode\\input cv-short-jr.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
entering extended mode
LaTeX2e <2003/12/01>
... (latex output)

i guess it means there is something wrong with the customizations.el
file, or? it looks pretty complicated when i open it and i dont really
know where to start. any suggestions what it could be? or should i look
somewhere else? i looked at the Preferences.el but i dont think there is
anything in there messing things up... i tried loading aquamacs without
my Preferences.el anyways and no change. 

suggestions higlhy appreciated:-)
