[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs 1.5 and SyncTeX

[Jeremy Van Cleve]

Thank you much to all who responded!

I have been able to modify the TeX-command-list to use the "-synctex=1" 
option and produce a .synctex.gz file, but I have had trouble getting 
the synchronization to work properly.  I can get Aquamacs to bring the 
window focus to Skim but the location in the pdf is far from the 
location in the source; likewise, when I try to move from the Skim to 
the source, the line number that Aquamacs moves to is incorrect.  Since 
support for synchronization using SyncTeX in AUCTeX was in the AUCTeX 
CVS, I downloaded the file that included the new 
"tex-source-correlate-mode" (tex.el), byte compiled it, and stuck it in 
the "Aquamacs Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/edit-modes/auctex" 
directory.  However, after turning on the mode, it didn't correct 
synchronization with Skim.  One thing I have noticed since upgrading to 
Aquamacs 1.5rc3 is that when I'm editing a LaTeX document in LaTeX-mode, 
line numbers do not show up at the bottom of the buffer; rather Aquamacs 
shows (??,col#).  Maybe this is part of the problem if Aquamacs is 
having trouble determining the line number in the source.  I have 
noticed that the line number shows up properly in other modes (e.g. MATLAB).

Thank again,

Jeremy
