Hi

I am running a relative recent git version of auctex. Pdflatex is ok,
but «normal» latex fails in the sense that no viewer is provided
bug trace is attached.

I don't see why that should be an AUCTeX bug.  Probably the viewer
configured for DVI (xdvi?) files is simply not installed.

What is the value of `TeX-view-program-selection'?  And what are the
values of `TeX-view-program-list' and `TeX-view-program-list-builtin'?

Bye,
Tassilo

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

More information was requested which was not provided.  Therefore I'm
closing this report.  We can reopen if new input arrives.

If I understand the BUG is from 2015, right? I wrote it, but well I
don't recall the details any more, so yes I think it is safe to close it.
