Apart from "/c/bin/emacs-21.2/site-lisp" being about the weirdest
directory I ever saw for installing Emacs files.  Are you sure that
this is in your load-path?

AUCTeX comes with an info file, and you have installed it.  C-h i d m
auctex RET should lead you to the AUCTeX info, and it has a chapter
"Installation".

C-h v AUC-TeX-version RET

should tell you the installed version.

Probably you installed into a wrong place.  What was the line that
you specified to ./configure?  What is the output of config.log?
