Hi everybody, I had used very happily Carbon Emacs for latexing up to 2 weeks ago on a G4 Powerbook and then on a MacBook Intel. Now, I have gotten a new replacement MacBook Pro, and have had to install everything again from scratch. I downloaded Seiji Zenitani's Carbon Emacs and Gerben Wierda's TeXLive-teTeX <http://ii2.sourceforge.net/tex-index.html> and got problems, which I did not have before. I hope you could help me with the trouble: I am using quite often pstricks for drawing trees and diagrams, which do not work with pdflatex; they require running in success the three commands: latex, dvips, ps2pdf (I've got all this working in TexShop, but Carbon Emacs has far more flexibility and with all of its functionality, I can't give it up.) Latexing with pstricks used to work by default like a magic from within Carbon Emacs by Ctrl-c Ctrl-c which ran in one sweep in the background <latex + dvips + ps2pdf>; another Ctrl-c Ctrl-c used to open the pdf file in Preview. Now, with the new installation, neither of the above works. I.e., what I do and get is as follows: 1. In the Emacs menu: Command -> Texing Options I switch off PDF Mode by C-c C-t C-p (to get pstricks working in latex). 2. Then, Ctrl-c Ctrl-c runs latex successfully but without creating pdf, i.e. it does not get the sequence of commands: dvips + ps2pdf. 3. C-c C-c invokes as the default View command: <xdvi file.dvi> (I do not like much xdvi, but even it does not work, apparently because I don't know how to get xdvi working; i.e., I do not know yet how to activate X11). 4. have put the line (setq pdf-previewer-program "open -a Preview") in the .emacs. 5. I've restarted the machine several times. But nothing fixes the problem. How could I set up the Latex command to be <latex + dvips + ps2pdf>, and the default View command to open the pdf in Preview?
