I can't believe it.  Your Emacs installation must be really out of
whack!  First you see strange stuff with Gnus, now your AUC-TeX
doesn't have the TeX-command-default variable.

I'm afraid of a more fundamental problem with your Emacs installation.

When you open a *.tex file (containing LaTeX source code), do you see
a `LaTeX' and a `Command' menu bar item?  If so, then you should be
using AUC-TeX, and there surely a TeX-command-default variable is
defined.  Type C-h v TeX-command-default RET from that *.tex buffer.
What does Emacs say?
