Aquamacs error code 127; LaTeX: problems after [0] pages error

Question

I have a new macbook pro (OSX 10.10) and I installed Aquamacs 3.2 GNU Emacs 24.4.51.2 I have used aquamacs on an old machine for over a year with few problems.

The installation seemed simple and straightforward, basically double click the dmg file and move the icon to Applications.

Any advice would be much appeciated

Answer 1

I am using this on yosemite and am not having any problems. I would suggest that you go to the aquamacs.org site go into the developers area. There was a problem unrelated to what you are showing with yosemite and the developer there was very helpful in fixing it. I would email him he probably can from your info tell you what is going on.

Before doing that try the development version that is on that page just in case that fixes it for you. That is the one I ended up using and I don't know if they have forced it back into the main download yet.

Also they have all the old email listing of problems that you may want to troll through. I use it for latex and find it is excellent. Particularly when teamed with skim.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I discovered Aquamacs requires that latex be installed separately, if you want the latex button to compile; latex is not included in Aquamacs. This was so obvious to (almost) everyone that the point is not made in the installation instructions (or anything I could find). I installed the Mac Tex package and that solved the problem.
