problem with AUCTEX

Question

Hi I have been using EMACS -Auctex for doing my work in LATEx. Today when I tried to compile my document as usual with Cc and Cc the latex code does not compile saying there are errors. I tried pressing Cc ` the usual keys to see the errors but all i get is a blank screen. The latex code compiled perfectly when I was working with it 1.2 an hour ago.

I am freaking out since I have homework due today and my editor is bailing on me :(

Any suggestions? I tried to compile with KILE bu I can't understand the errors

Answer 1

Sometimes the intermediate files created in producing a pdf/dvi/ps file get corrupted. You can clear them out with Cc Cc clean. After issuing the clean, try to recompile again and you might get sensible results.
