Are there any error messages in the Messages-buffer? Check your load-path (e.g. C-h v <return> load-path <return>). It should contain /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ and /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex. marko@markodaniel.net 2003-08-11 04:15:48 0000 Has this ever been resolved? I have the same problem and it is unrelated to auctex. I tried emerge =app-emacs/auctex-10.0g and that didn't work either. Manual installation of tarball also failed. Manual installation of tarball in redhat 9.0 (booted from different partition) works perfectly. What could this error be due to? marko@markodaniel.net 2003-08-11 08:45:05 0000 Recompiled emacs with userflag Xaw3d set and it works... joaopft@netscape.net 2003-10-23 12:41:42 0000 Same problem with gentoo on PPC. On starting emacs with auctex mode, it reports: Warning: Actions not found: reset, set, notify, unset Warning: Actions not found: reset, set, notify, unset joaopft@netscape.net 2003-10-30 11:13:40 0000 Modifying the ebuild file of auctex so that the ebuild demands emacs compiled with Xaw3d support should solve this. Meanwhile... just recompile emacs with userflag -Xaw3d set.It worked for me. usata@gentoo.org 2003-10-31 06:02:30 0000 Thanks for the comment. I confirmed the problem and added a notice for users to enable USE="Xaw3d" if it is not set. bdp@member.fsf.org 2004-07-01 08:46:23 0000 We are having this same problem (Command menu does not work). Note that the other auctex menus do work. Just to be sure about the Xaw3d thing, I just rebuilt emacs (21.3.1-r3) with USE="Xaw3d" emerge emacs and reinstalled auctex (11.14) with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~sparc" emerge --ask app-emacs/auctex and still the same problem. Any ideas? bdp@member.fsf.org 2004-07-02 14:20:23 0000 Ok, I figured out a workaround. The gentoo default USE flags include "motif" which appears to override "Xaw3d". Building emacs with USE="Xaw3d -motif" emerge emacs fixes the problem on our system. usata@gentoo.org 2004-07-04 07:17:54 0000 I see... I reversed motif and Xaw3d USE flag order because if a user sets non-default Xaw3d USE flag I guess he/she does not intend to get default motif interface. pparis@gmu.edu 2005-01-18 14:08:09 0000 The problem with the Command menu not working is related to an obscure conflict with KDE. This is explained in detail at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.windows.x.motif/browse_frm/thread/c20cc6d768acd666 The way I "fixed" the problem is to change the following line in tex.el from: (defconst TeX-command-menu-name "Command" to: (defconst TeX-command-menu-name "Commands" pparis@gmu.edu 2005-02-14 10:58:34 0000 Created an attachment (id=51225) Proposed patch for .../auctex/tex.el Apply this patch to /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/tex.el. It changes the name of the menu from 'Command' to Commands' this fixes an obscure conflict with KDE as pointed out in my earlier post (#10). garyyoung3@gmail.com 2005-03-07 20:57:27 0000 When I emerged emacs 21.4 and auctex 11.54, I noticed two problems that I initially thought were unrelated: (1) the "command" menu bug described here and (2) a "find file dialog box that was wider than the screen space, forcing me to drag it across the screen to view the list of files. After I recompiled with the USE flag suggested by Brett Presnell, both problems went away. Now instead of a dialog box, emacs prompts me to enter the directory path in the lowermost buffer. I'm new to emacs (and to gentoo), so I can't say if that's the proper behavior or not. In any event, I prefer it to the oversize dialog box. My experience leads me to think that this bug is more wide-ranging than the auctex menu problem. garyyoung3@gmail.com 2005-03-12 21:21:44 0000 Just a follow-up to my last post. Today I did an "emerge --update world." My emacs was recompiled after a newer version of motif was installed, and the menu problem is indeed fixed. Nonetheless, I think I will recompile with the USE=Xaw3d flag for two reasons -- the pulldown menus appear with a mouse-over, whereas with the motif menu I have to tap on my touchpad and secondly, I prefer not to have the motif "find file" dialog box. 51225 2005-02-14 10:58 0000 Proposed patch for .../auctex/tex.el tex.el.patch text/plain LS0tIHRleC5lbH4JMjAwNS0wMi0xMSAxNToyNzoyOC4wMDAwMDAwMDAgLTA1MDAKKysrIHRleC5l bAkyMDA1LTAyLTE0IDEzOjQzOjQ0LjAwMDAwMDAwMCAtMDUwMApAQCAtMzA2MSw3ICszMDYxLDcg QEAKIAkgICAodmNvbmNhdCBgKCxuYW1lIChUZVgtY29tbWFuZC1tZW51ICxuYW1lKSkKIAkJICAg IChudGhjZHIgNSBlbnRyeSkpKSkpKQogCi0oZGVmY29uc3QgVGVYLWNvbW1hbmQtbWVudS1uYW1l ICJDb21tYW5kIgorKGRlZmNvbnN0IFRlWC1jb21tYW5kLW1lbnUtbmFtZSAiQ29tbWFuZHMiCiAg ICJOYW1lIHRvIGJlIGRpc3BsYXllZCBmb3IgdGhlIGNvbW1hbmQgbWVudSBpbiBhbGwgbW9kZXMg ZGVmaW5lZCBieSBBVUNUZVguIikKIAogOzs7IEtleW1hcAo=
