Okay, then you have the following options:

1) Edit the file `Makefile' in your build directory and replace
MULESRC = tex-jp.el
MULEELC = tex-jp.elc
   with
MULESRC =
MULEELC =
   This would be the brute-force option I don't really recommend.

2) If you are hooked on XEmacs, compile your own with MULE enabled and
   install AUCTEX with that.

3) If you are not hooked on XEmacs, get a pre-compiled stable GNU
   Emacs from <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/> and install
   AUCTeX with that.

4) If you are not hooked on XEmacs, get a pre-compiled development
   version of GNU Emacs with AUCTeX included from
   <URL:ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/auctex/>.  This is probably the
   easiest and safest way.  You just have to download and unpack it
   and are ready to go.


We, the developers, can now think about what to do for AUCTeX 11.82 in
order to fix this.  One way would be to provide a configuration option
for disabling the treatment of Elisp files requiring MULE.  Another
option would be to simply require MULE-enabled builds of XEmacs.
