Hello,

since switching to texlive 2011, I started having problems with
synchronization. When using correlate IO, AucTeX 11.86 hangs. I
switched to the dev version from CVS, and then it always returns page
1.

>From previous postings the list, and perusing tex.el, it seems due to
the input passed to synctex view: if file.tex is the source, then
file.synctex.gz contains

1:/path/to/dir/./file.tex

where /path/to/dir is the (absolute) path of the working directory.
Toying around with synctex view directly shows that the third parameter
to -i needs to be exactly in that format, otherwise you get "SyncTeX
Warning: No tag for..." Thus, passing file.tex or ./file.tex, appears
to be wrong.

Unfortunately I don't really read (let alone speak) lisp. I hope this
is not too wrong. But the obvious question is: what do I need to do to
fix it?

Thanks,
--Ettore

Confirmed.

Indeed.

Report it here, I've already fixed it in CVS.

synctex is really strange. Now there are at least three variants for
what it expects as its -i argument. Either it's

foo/bar.tex
./foo/bar.tex

relative to the TeX-master, or it is

/home/user/docs/baz/./foo/bar.tex

if the TeX-master is in baz.

Thanks for reporting,
Tassilo

You've spotted the problem correctly: -p N goes to the page *labeled* N,
which can basically be anything. Evince 3 added a -i N option that goes
to the page *indexed* N, and that's what you really want with forward
search.

So now in CVS, AUCTeX uses -i if evince knows that option.

Bye,

Now I get:

TeX-synctex-output-page: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

It happens both with my regular emacs session and with -q -no-site-file
and
(load "auctex.el" nil t t) in the scratch buffer.
