Thanks, but here is the next issue; when applying the change (incl. the
missing closing paren), i.e.:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/auctex.el b/auctex.el
index 2f7af507..8b15e5c1 100644

-(autoload 'TeX-load-hack

 (provide 'auctex)

 ;;; auctex.el ends here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and running make, I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs --batch -q -no-site-file -no-init-file -l lpath.el -f batch-byte-compile 
auctex.el

In toplevel form:
auctex.el:45:2: Error: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
make: *** [GNUmakefile:82: auctex.elc] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I currently can't see why I :-(

Best, Arash
