[Bug-AUCTeX] TeX-evince-sync-view

[Thomas Arildsen]

Since I upgraded to the latest Ubuntu (13.04), I have not been able to 
view LaTeX output PDFs from Emacs (AUCTeX).
Pressing C-c C-c or C-c C-v suggests viewing the document usingthe 
command 'TeX-evince-sync-view. Apparently, this command does not work. I 
have tried the workaround described here: 
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/106889/change-view-command-in-emacs-and-auctex-pdf-mode, 
but this is not satisfactory. I would like the built-in view command to 
just work instead.
I have observed this in Emacs 23.4.1 as well as 24.2.1, using AUCTeX 
11.87 (all Ubuntu-supplied).
I have seen the bug report (and answer) here: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-auctex/2013-05/msg00011.html, but 
I do not experience the exact same problem. In my case, the command does 
not launch Evince or update the view of an already open Evince, neither 
does it give any error message so I have no clue what is going on.
Just to be sure it has not already been fixed, I cloned the AUCTeX git 
repo and installed the latest version (and uninstalled the Ubuntu AUCTeX 
package). This is git revision 25ac9c5db93363cecd7347d5db5255efec28ee8a 
from Aug 3rd. It still does not work, neither in Emacs 23 nor Emacs 24.
If all else fails, can you suggest a workaround such as configuring a 
working Evince command in Emacs (without sync if necessary) to replace 
the built-in TeX-evince-sync-view?
Best regards,
