Oops.

Probably the version for Aquamacs.

Probably the version for Yaced.

Looks like _another_ version for Aquamacs.

Probably what was installed by AUCTeX's make install.

Probably what was delivered with teTeX.

Uh, this is a mess.  I don't even know which one came with what.

Great.  A failed configure run for the user "franconi".  Can't be too
relevant, I hope.

Ah, an old AUCTeX.

Hardly interesting.

That's the newest version alright.  I suppose that there is a package
conflict somewhere.

And the config.log for _this_ installation of AUCTeX appears to be
missing.  Hm.

It would be interesting to see the config.log corresponding to this
current version of AUCTeX in order to figure out what it though about
the TeX path.
