If you are talking about Linux then there is TeX Live distribution (TUG TeX Live) and texlive packages. latexmk availability depends on how you install TUG TeX Live (full scheme or not, I didn't investigate this I prefer to use full always) but if you are referring to texlive packages (Linux distribution packages) then the latexmk could be available as distribution package. It could be a problem either on Windows (suppose one could use MikTeX but Emacs on Windows is a bit a pain, IMHO) or on Mac but if one uses TUG TeX Live I'm sure there would be latexmk. Of course, it would be best if there will be a note in documentation. [...] --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- I can't decide whether to commit suicide or go bowling. -- Florence Henderson
