What sources?  The current master branch from Git or some release?  (But
I think that should work also with at least 11.87.)

You could try with the Git version.

  $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/auctex.git
  $ cd auctex
  $ ./autogen.sh
  $ ./configure
  $ make          # no need to "make install"

And then in your .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/auctex/")
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/auctex/preview/")
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
(setq TeX-data-directory "/path/to/auctex/")
(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list "/path/to/auctex/doc")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye,
