Hm.  I don't know in which order they are loaded.  Ed, probably it's
better to remove `auctex-init.el'.  I don't see any benefit in it.

Could you elaborate what's missing WRT this in the current spec file?

We have a single spec file for Fedora (AFAICS barely tested since
David doesn't use Fedora anymore).  First it was RedHat only (IIRC),
latter support for SuSE was added.  I've tested it on SuSE 9.2
(building, installing and using it) and I could build the RPM a couple
of days ago on Fedora.

Could you please test the current auctex.spec from CVS on Fedora?

Bye, Reiner.
