[AUCTeX] post-installation: how to invoke auctex.

[Søren Christensen]

Finally I got through the installation, ./configure, make and make install -- 
without error-messages. The info-pages of AUCTeX and preview are all available.

But loading a TeX-file does not give me the "LaTeX" and "Preview" menu, and the 
auctex-commands are not available.

I guess I've missed a simple thing, but I can't figure out what.

In my .emacs I've put the following lines:

(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)

and at start-up, emacs does not complain.

But if I add the lines:
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)

loading .emacs does result in error-messages.

What's missing?
