Re: [Bug-AUCTeX] trying to locate a latex compile error

[Ralf Angeli]

Please keep the mailing list copied.  (It was good, however, that you
did not send the example file to the list which would have been too
large.)

The file did not produce the error which you were reporting because I
don't have all the input files required.  I spent about half an hour
to remove unnecessary stuff and finally came to a point where AUCTeX
tries to open a non-existent file called "10".  I guess that's the
same bug you are seeing (see below).

My guess ist that AUCTeX regards "(ei-ge" as input file due to the
opening parenthesis and gets confused because it cannot find a closing
paren for it.  (In my case this happens around the same place in the
code, i.e. I can see a "(ei-gent" string but near that also a
"(\OMS/cmsy/m/n/10" string which explains why AUCTeX tries to open a
file called "10".)

Unfortunately I don't know how we can tell AUCTeX's parser that
"(ei-ge" is not an indicator for an input file.  As a workaround you
could fix the overfull \hbox which should get rid of "(ei-ge" in the
log file and therefore of AUCTeX erroneously trying to open a
non-existent input file.

Rest of log file ...
