Ok, checking your config.log again, the reason it fails is that this
command:

 /usr/bin/emacs -batch -no-site-file -eval '(let* ((x (if (featurep
(quote xemacs)) "yes" "no"))) (write-region (if (stringp x) x (prin1-to-string x)) nil "./conftest-2068"))'

fails with

 Opening output file: no such file or directory, /Users/pastor/Privat/Søren/computer/auctex-11.86/conftest-2068

Can you run it in a terminal?  I can; it creates a file conftest-2068
containing "no" (no, I'm not XEmacs).

Thank you for looking once more.

When I run ./configure in Terminal:

Srens-MacBook-Pro:auctex-11.86 pastor$ ./configure 

checking for make... make

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking if /usr/bin/emacs is XEmacs... cat: ./conftest-5385: No such file or directory

configure: error: Unable to run /usr/bin/emacs!  Aborting!

It seems to check for the file conftest-5385.

But it is not made. Is it possible to change a line in ./configure-script to avoid the problem?

Once again, thank you very much.

I try to understand the ouput from my log-file, and what the config-script is actually looking for.

configure:1992: checking for emacs

configure:2010: found /usr/bin/emacs

configure:2022: result: /usr/bin/emacs

configure:2038: checking if /usr/bin/emacs is XEmacs

/usr/bin/emacs -batch -no-site-file -eval (let* ((x (if (featurep (quote xemacs)) "yes" "no"))) (write-region (if (stringp x) x (prin1-to-stri\

ng x)) nil "./conftest-750"))

Opening output file: no such file or directory, /Users/pastor/Privat/Søren/computer/auctex-11.86/conftest-750

=>

configure:2056: error: Unable to run /usr/bin/emacs!  Aborting!

Does this mean, that the config-script looks for /usr/bin/emacs in line 1992, finds it, and then checking for xemacs in line 2038, with a negative result, and then quits, with the explanation, that it is unable to run /usr/bin/emacs ?

Why can't it run emacs, when I can so both in terminal and as in Finder? How can the script say, that it finds emacs, and then conclude, it cannot run?

Thanks in advance
