[AUCTeX-devel] 11.87, some progress, problems with synctex and forward pdf search

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

First my system:
Kubuntu 10.04 
with texlive 2009 
xemacs 21.5.33

Oukular 0.10.5
evince 2.30.3
xpdf 3.02


I finally got inverse and forward search to work in dvi but *NOT* with 
synctex but with -src.



`TeX-source-correlate-method' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "tex"

Value: source-specials

Even I used customize, I had to restart xemacs to make it work. I repeat
with the standard setting 

TeX-source-correlate-method' synctex

Inverse and forward search does not work in xdvi.

I followed the instructions in 
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/161797/how-to-configure-emacs-and-auctex-to-perform-forward-and-inverse-search

which allowed me to use inverse search with okular. I had to configure
ocular to use gnuclient but then it worked.
What does not work is forward search 


But it seems also not to work from the command line. So it might be an
okular bug 

okular --unique <file>.pdf#src:<line number>/path/to/file.tex 

As in 
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/116633/forward-search-in-emacs-for-okular-not-working

Did not work. Okular always openes the first page of the pdf document

I also tried out again synctex with pdf
synctex view -i 10:1:file.tex -o file.pdf



As described in 

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/auctex/2009-04/msg00038.html

And it did not work. 

So can somebody please tell me how to use inverse and forward search 
with either

    -  xpdf

    -  evidence

    -  okular?

thanks
