I have emacs 24.3.1 from a colleague that introduced me to the program. He has a bunch of specialized things in the .emacs file that I use and I don't know enough about emacs yet to try to switch to a new version. I was able to get it to work this morning by using
M-x package-list-packages command. I did receive a bunch of warnings, the final one being "In end of data:xspace.el:54:1:Warning: the function `font-latex-add-keywords' is not known to
be defined.
Error: Selecting deleted buffer"
I assumed that I had not worked but checked to see if it had by opening a new .tex file and was surprised that it did. I had done the same thing last night and it didn't seem to change anything. It may be possible that I had an issue because I had a previously opened .tex file last night, but not this morning. Attached is the log file that I received.
It might be helpful to note that warnings are not necessarily a sign that autex has not installed for people that are new to emacs.
Thank You
