Well, I changed my mind. I download and installed the image libraries
and almost all went fine. The only problem was that I was unable to
locate two libraries which are, in principle, required so that the
others work: librle and glut. But, so far, Emacs did not complain.

Then I tried again to install AucTeX. There were some problems, but they
were all result of sloppiness (for instance, I wrote "--with-texmfdir"
instead of "--with-texmf-dir"). In the end, it worked.

Thanks for your help.
