I don't think this will affect other programs, but if you don't want
to edit `texmf.cfn' you can call latex with file line error style only
within AUCTeX by adding the following code to your init file:

   (setq LaTeX-command-style '(("" "%(PDF)%(latex) -file-line-error
%S%(PDFout)")))

Sorry if the previous line will be hard-wrapped.  In other words, you
have to add "-file-line-error" after the "%(latex)" expander.  Note
that the default value of LaTeX-command-style may change in future
versions of AUCTeX.  See also
