Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Problems installing auctex on Windows 10

[R C]

Hi,

I had tried installing through elpa but get the following error:



Package transaction finished. 4/30/2018 4:16:55 PM

Deleted:

  auctex  12.1.1



Package transaction finished. 4/30/2018 7:13:21 PM

Errors:

  (error tex-jp.el:0:0: error: scan-error: (Unbalanced parentheses 24404 44141))

Is there a way to have the make file find docstrip?

Regards

R C

Hi RC,

is there any reason why you're building AUCTeX from source instead of
using ELPA?  See the instructions at
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download.html

Bye,
