Re: [AUCTeX] Symbol's value as variable is void: LaTeX-reftex-cite-format-auto-activate

[Alfredo Buttari]

Dear Arash,
that was indeed the case! I had two different auctex version, one
installed through the apt package manager and the other through the
emacs package manager. I did some cleanup and everything works fine
now.

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,
Alfredo
