[Slackbuilds-users] problem wtih auctex slackbuild + suggested fix

[Jim Diamond]

Hi,

The auctex slackbuild script doesn't work on my Slack64 13.1 system.
Specifically, it complained that preview didn't know where to put some
files, and it told me to use the
	--with-texmf-dir
argument to configure.  (This may be due to the fact that I have
texlive 2009 installed in some non-standard place, but I am probably
not alone in that regard.)

While I'm not 100% certain that this is the Right Thing To Do, I
modified the slackbuild file to create a temp directory, use that, and
delete it before creating the package.  I e-mailed the listed
maintainer (Aleksandar Samardzic) but he tells me he's not actually
maintaining it.  He suggested e-mailing the approver (Erik Hanson) but
I didn't find an e-mail addr for Erik.

Attached is my version of the slackbuild, in case someone wants to
update the official slackbuild.

Incidentally, the notice on the SlackBuild Upload Form web page is
maybe a bit out of date.

Cheers.
