[AUCTeX-devel] Problem with AUCTeX installation under Emacs-23.1

[Dr. Gerhard Eber]

I installed AUCTeX 11.86 under emacs-23.1. The configuration worked
straightforward but I cannot start latex (and other executables) from
emacs now. Execution of the same command in a cygwin bash shell works
perfectly. I tried all sorts of workarounds recommended in the web, but
none of them worked. This is the output of my latex command:

If I use a Makefile to start the compilation, this also works.

Did anyone encounter a similar problem and find a solution?
