Well, then you can compile your documents again but it does not remedy
the problem that Fink provided you with a crippled version of AUCTeX.
The simplifications in `TeX-command-list' (compared to vanilla AUCTeX)
Fink seems to have introduced defeats functionality like source specials
or PDF mode.  I cannot verify this since I don't know how to get the
source of the AUCTeX package distributed by Fink, but you could file a
bug report.
