[OS X TeX] Tiger and Emacs 22 and TeX Menu Commands

[Chris Swoyer]

I've installed the Tiger, with latest updates, the latest version
Gerben W's TeX software (all of it), and GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1
(powerpc-apple-darwin8.1.0) of 2005-05-12. I'd been running carbon
Emacs under Panther with a full version of auctex and everything
was flawless. The TeX commands I had for my drop-down menu mostly
don't work with the new setup (TexShop and Ispell do, probably
because they call up those programs), maybe for path reasons. Here
is what I think is the relevant portion of my .emacs file (though
if I were sure about that I probably wouldn't be asking this). I
could attach the entire file but it's too long to ask
anyone to suffer through it. I don't get any error messages with
this, but some of the commands like pdflatex (error message
reprinted at the end of this missive) simply aren't
recognized. The auctex is in site-lisp in
``opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp''.

Thanks for any help,
CS
