Although I do not have `auc-tec', I do have an Amiga with Emacs, and I know your problem. One of the things about the Amiga port of Emacs is that it gets search paths (and what *is* executable) confused. I suggest that your carfully look at your `load-path' variable, and at your PATH environment variable. NOTE THE DISTINCTION. You can check the value of the first one with `M-ESC load-path' --- this will display the value of it on the status line. The second one must be read with `M-ESC (getenv "PATH")'. If your path to TeX isn't somewhere in these strings, then emacs can't find TeX. Note that (as far as I can figure), emacs can not read the inherited search path (the path that all AmigaOS tasks inherit from their parents), but it's subtasks seem to just fine.
