AUCTeX should report an error if selected viewer fails |

User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.4 (gnu/linux) |
Package: auctex
Version: 11.83
Severity: normal
Usertags: bugs.debian.org/409795
Neither `C-c C-c', nor `C-c C-v', nor `tool-bar view' appear to report
any error if the viewer selected by `TeX-view-program-selection' isn't
installed.
It would be useful if AUCTeX would check if the selected viewer is
installed on the system, falling back to some other viewer if available;
at a minimum, however, AUCTeX should give some clue to the user about
the failure to start a viewer.
This bug has been originally reported by a Debian user: see
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409795>, in
particular items marked `0' and `2' by the original submitter.

Patch fixed (the original one didn't really work with a list of
executables) and installed.
Bye,
