I am having a problem with LaTeX mode under Emacs. It seems that if I leave
the TeX-directory variable set to "/tmp/" I cannot do a C-c C-b to run LaTeX
on a file if the file includes a .sty file. Since the default directory for
Emacs is "/tmp", Emacs trys to find the .sty file in "/tmp". The only way that
I have been able to get this to work was to change the default directory to "."
but this results in the creation of the temporary files in my current working
directory. This wouldn't be so bad except that these temporary files don't go
away when I leave Emacs!! (I am assuming that cron would blow them away if
they were in "/tmp").
Any help is appreciated,
Vic
