Hi,
This is a long shot but has anyone managed to get TinyTex to cooperate with Auctex/Emacs on OSX? I had no major issues on Unbuntu other than needing to adjust emacs's PATH, but I have had no luck on OSX. I'm using emacs installed from Homebrew...

Symlinks are made to /usr/local/bin on macOS, so there should not be a reason why Emacs cannot find them.

Yeah, its a weird one; I suspect Auctex has some strange checks for executables. Running BibTeX works fine, and generating a preview mostly works, so it feels like some other issue with how it is searching the PATH. Feel free to close this issue; but I would be interested to hear if there are any workarounds...

I'm fine with leaving this issue open for a while.

According to the AUCTex source code , I've found this issue is related to the TeX-check-TeX variable. My workaround is to set TeX-check-TeX to nil in AUCTex's customize-group.

That worked for me!!!! I added (sets TeX-check-TeXnil)` to my init, and that seems to have done the trick! Thanks so much!
