Instead of "nothing" better use lacheck program from iesd.auc.dk which
will tell you pretty fast what is wrong.  (It was also distributed with
the latest version of auc-tex).  Actually lacheck works not only on
LaTeX code, although in case of other macro packages its advices can be
slightly confusing for beginners.  It was written for Un*x but if you
have at least an output from flex then it can be easily ported ot other
platforms as well.
