[AUCTeX] TeX-next-error doesn't work

[Janusz S. Bień]

Hi!

When I try to use TeX-next-error, I get

TeX-parse-TeX: Symbol's function definition is void: signum

It's version 11.89.5 on
GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.11) of 2017-09-12 on hullmann, modified by Debian

Best regards

Janusz

24.5? 25 came out in 2014.

That being said, our prerequisites in doc/install.texi do list Emacs 24
as requirement.

I was not aware that the upgrade in Debian from 24 to 25 is not
automatic. Now I have

GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.11) of 2017-09-15, modified by Debian

The upgrade has not affected the AUCTex version, it is still 11.89.5. If
I remember well, I've installed it from ELPA.

The problem still occurs.

Your complaint would have been valid even when using 24. I do think
that your problem has already been fixed in current AUCTeX versions: at
least I can find no active use of signum.

Hi Janusz,

this issue was fixed in AUCTeX with this patch[1]. Just update your
AUCTeX and try again.

Best, Arash

Right, it works in the current version.
Thanks!
