[Bug-AUCTeX] auctex causing latex, tex-mode failure: font-latex-setup

[Jess OBrien]

Hi,

Upon installing auctex 11.81 on solaris sparcs, we are now finding that 
tex-mode 
and latex-mode are failing to load on tex files:

File mode specification error: (void-function tex-mode)
Using emacs --debug-init doesn't give any further information. 

I have load tex-site defined in my .emacs
(load "tex-site")
and the messages show that it is started correctly.

M-x latex-mode 
M-x tex-mode 
show no match, unless I manually do load-file 
/PATH_OF_SITE-LISP/auctex/latex.el 
and likewise for tex.el.
Loading /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/latex.el (source)...
Loading mule-util...done
Loading advice...done
Loading edmacro...done
Loading easy-mmode...done
Loading derived...done
Loading /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/latex.el (source)...done
Loading /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/tex.el (source)...
Loading cl-macs...done
Loading /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/tex.el (source)...done

Then when loading either mode with M-x latex-mode or M-x tex-mode, it fails 
with:

Symbol's function definition is void: font-latex-setup

On linux FC3, we had no problems installing auctex at all. The enhanced 
features 
and preview system are so good, we would very much like to get it working for 
our sparcs running solaris.

Any suggestions most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jess


Having done that then when I do
M-x latex-mode 
I get:
