[Tex/LaTex] Trouble getting AUCTeX to load with emacs update

auctexemacs

I have just updated to Gnu Emacs 24 and am having trouble getting AUCTeX working. I have used the Emacs package manager to install AUCTeX 11.89, and I have (require 'tex-site) in my .emacs file. But when .emacs is loaded I get the error message: "File error: Cannot open load file, no such file or directory, tex-site"

What am I missing?

Like Romain Picot said, when AUCTeX is installed with the Emacs Package manager, .emacs should not contain "(require 'tex-site)". I also needed to add /usr/texbin to my PATH in my .emacs file:

(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":/usr/texbin"))
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/texbin")))

Turns out it was two issues at once, which is why I couldn't troubleshoot it myself at first. Initially, it was a typo in the file's local variable declaration (End : instead of End:), which is why it didn't work when I removed my .emacs file. While trying to troubleshoot, I eventually added a couple of lines to the .emacs file, and, because of them, the issue didn't go away when I finally spotted and corrected the typo.
That's also what made me think this wasn't bug, but a standard behavior.

Can't you simply put a % in front of this line?

I'm using this in the last some lines of my files, for example.

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "spezialisierung"
%%% End:

But

% -*- mode: context; -*-

in the first line should work, too.
