I have this at the start of my .emacs:

(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)


(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)

I don't understand it but it works.


In addition you need a teX package. MiKTeX is free.
The above applies to w32 Emacs and Auctex but it might be the same for 
G/L too.

Probably. Don't know. I'm a rank newbie at this.
