auctex + texlive = problems

[Garglemonster]

hi.

i recently switched my laptop over to texlive from tetex.  now i find
that i can't get auctex to compile latex files unless i start emacs
from a terminal window command prompt.  (it tells me it can't find the
latex binary) i've used customise to set up the latex commands to
reflect the locations of the new binaries.  i have TEXINPUTS, TEXMF
and TEX_PATH set in my .bashrc.  what am i forgetting?

thanks in advance,
