Re: [AUCTeX] TeX-next-error broken for error messages without line number

[Ivan Andrus]

Vitomir,

I think the changes at 
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/auctex/auctex/tex-buf.el?r1=1.282&r2=1.283
and
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/auctex/auctex/tex-buf.el?r1=1.284&r2=1.285
may "fix" the problem, albeit in a different way.  Of course the real problem 
is that it's impossible to know where the error is in some cases and there's 
nothing AUCTeX can do to fix that.  

In the mean time adding -file-line-error-style to the latex command line gives 
better results.

Unfortunately I haven't tested those changes.  I'm running 11.86 from 
package.el though I should probably be running from CVS.  There have been a 
number of bugs fixed which keep getting reported.  


David, 

When is the next release planned?  I think it would be good to release it soon, 
but that's just my opinion. :-)

-Ivan
