I got (temporarily) rid of the first pdfTeX warning by commenting out  
the title page of our document - we do not really need that during  
debugging. Then - yippieh - stepping through the errors with TeX-next- 
error works "as advertised" - thanks a lot.

However, here is another (potentially similar) problem: when I turn  
on debugging for warnings

TeX-toggle-debug-warnings     C-c C-t C-w

(how can I turn this on permanently in my .emacs file?)

stepping with TeX-next-error works initially but then stops with

ERROR: ** LaTeX

--- TeX said ---
LaTeX Warning: Reference `sec:sections' on page 2 undefined on input  
line 4.

--- HELP ---
No help available

and no further warnings or errors are displayed. I have attached the  
log file, this time from the Aquamax session.

Is this a special version? I am surprised to find that both "default"  
installation on Linux (Fedora Core 6) and MacOS X exhibit the same  
problem, i.e. have unsuitable latex versions.

Many thanks in advance,
 Stefan
