emacs seems to be having trouble loading a BibTeX file _only_ after loading a LaTeX file. for example, I have three files in my home directory, test.f, test.tex, and test.bib. The autoload commands I have in my .emacs file are listed below (the whole .emacs file is there for reference). If I load just one of these files, the particular mode(ie bibtex-mode), font-lock-mode and auto-fill-mode start up successfully. If I load the fortran file and then the BibTeX file, then fortran-mode, font-lock mode, auto-fill mode, and bibtex-mode all get properly loaded. However, if I first load the latex file, and then load the bibtex file, bibtex-mode is successfully loaded, but font-lock-mode and auto-fill-mode are not. The *messages* buffer gives me the following:
Loading bibtex... Loading bibtex...done File mode specification error: (invalid-function (macro . #[(&rest cdr) "\300\301BD\207" [function lambda cdr] 3 758067])) (I had to type the \300\301 \207 in myself, must be control chars and cut and paste wouldn't handle them). Any idea what is wrong? I am running hamm and ii tetex-base 0.4pl6-5 teTeX library files ii tetex-bin 0.4pl6-8 teTeX binary files ii tetex-dev 0.4pl6-8 kpathsea.a and include files for teTeX ii tetex-doc 0.4pl6-1 teTeX documentation ii tetex-extra 0.4pl6-4 teTeX library files Below is my .emacs file. Any help is gratefully appreciated. Cheers, Colin. ----------------------begin ;; Colin Telmer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;; .emacs customization file ;; Directory for personal elisp code.
