Software requirements
In order to use AUCTeX the following software is required in addition:
-
A recent version of Emacs or XEmacs:
Using preview-latex requires a version of Emacs compiled with image support. This means that Emacs 21 will work only in the version for X11. The development version of Emacs in contrast can be compiled as a Carbon application and therefore provides image support without the need for an X server. A precompiled development Emacs including a preinstalled version of AUCTeX with preview-latex is provided by the Carbon Emacs Package.
For XEmacs, you need at least version 1.84 of the xemacs-base package (released on 01/27/2004) or a sumo tarball from or newer than 02/02/2004.
-
A TeX system:
Popular TeX system distributions for Mac OS X are gwTeX and TeX Live.
-
Ghostscript for generating PostScript and other output. Required by preview-latex.
