AUCTeX already has you covered.  If you have a recent version (>=
11.88, but I strongly recommend always using the latest ELPA version)
you can use C-c C-a to compile the document (it'll run all the needed
command to completely build it) and automatically open the viewer.  In
addition, if you set `TeX-error-overview-open-after-TeX-run' to t, the
error overview will be presented to you.  You can either customize the
variable with

    M-x customize-variable RET TeX-error-overview-open-after-TeX-run RET

and toggle to "on", or add the following line to your init file:

    (setq TeX-error-overview-open-after-TeX-run t)

C-c C-a is basically meant to replace your C-c C-c workflow, unless
you want to run just once a specific command.

Bye,
Mosè
