Yes, the output I sent you was the total output.

A shell window starts up just fine.

Actually, what I did was whilst the Thesis.tex buffer was the focused
window I did M-x shell so that the shell started in the directory
containing Thesis.tex and then I did latex Thesis.tex:
[pc-62-31-76-10-ed:~/Documents/THESIS/New Thesis] jelena% latex THESIS.tex
latex: Command not found.

Again, I did M-! latex Thesis.tex, and got:
latex: Command not found
in the Minibuffer.

Now I'm a bit puzzled. The commands not working from within AucTeX was
something I assumed was wrong with tex-site.el. But the fact that latex
isn't found in Emacs from either M-! or M-x shell whilst there are no
problems in OS X's terminal is puzzling me. Emacs doesn't maintain it's
own $PATH variable does it? I thought it just picked it up from whatever
your login shell was. Although as this stuff just works on Linux, and I am
very unused to BSD in general and OS X in particular I don't suppose that
what I think is very significant!
