You should install "gnuclient" and configure yap to use it instead of
runemacs.  If gnuclient is installed, AUCTeX should be able to start
up the necessary server inside of Emacs automatically.

For all people that use Source Specials, I should also recommend
taking a look at preview-latex
<URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>: for a lot of situations
where Source Specials might be useful, it is quite more convenient.
