No, mine just wasn't compiled because I've edited tex.el and called
`eval-buffer' then instead of loading it from a elc file.

Ugh, that's strange.  When I do the same, after selecting
TeX-evince-sync-view as View command, the tex.el buffer pops up showing
the function definition and marking the current position of execution...

Now I'm really out of ideas. :-(
