[OS X Emacs] AUCTeX in Aquamacs 2.4

[Slobodan Simic]

Hello David and Pete,

Thanks so much for your help and quick reply, and sorry for the delay in acknowledging it. It appears that what caused the problem was an old fink install in my /sw/bin folder. What seems to have solved the problem was deinstalling fink via

sudo rm -rf /sw .

Thanks again! 

Best regards,

Slobodan
