LaTeX/Emacs problem

[Fred Krogh]

A long time ago when I ran latex from inside emacs, if there were errors 
it would point me to the place with the error (maybe after <cntrl c 
`>?). For the last few years, when there was an error, I had to type 
<cntrl c `> that gave me a line number, I then had to kill that window 
to get back to my latex buffer, go to that line and fix the problem. Now 
another step backwards. After <cntrl c `> all I get now is " Error 
occurred after last TeX file closed". The only choice at this point 
seems to be running latex in a separate terminal window. I'd be 
interested if anyone else is having these sorts of problems, suggestions 
for tracking down the problem, or if you have it working perhaps your 
.emacs.el file?  I'm running TeXLive on a gentoo linux system.  Many thanks.
