The AUCTeX source does not contain set-match-data (don't know whether it did in 11.83; grep for it). But the compiled Lisp files do, probably because of a save-match-data macro. So it would seem that you have elc files compiled with the wrong Emacs version in your path, or a set-match-data macro definition from the wrong Emacs version. M-x list-load-path-shadows RET might help in diagnosing the problem, but if I remember correctly, on Debian the list is rather depressingly large because of a fundamental Emacs package policy misdesign. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
