It shouldn't, right.  Looking at the code, I can't see how that can
happen.  Evince DBUS support should only be active when DBUS support is
compiled into emacs, and DBUS is actually running on the system.

what do you do in order to trigger the error?  Do you call
`TeX-evince-sync-view'?  That shouldn't be offered as possible View
command on systems where DBUS is not available.

What version of AUCTeX are you running, and how did you install it?  And
could you please also show the complete backtrace?  Unfortunately, you
have snipped everything which would allow me to determine which code in
AUCTeX triggered the error (well, I could at least narrow it down to two
functions...).

Bye,
