I get latex errors saying it cannot find <none>.tex but no emacs errors:

,----
| ERROR: I can't find file `<none>.tex'.
| 
| --- TeX said ---
| ! I can't find file `<none>.tex'.
| --- HELP ---
| TeX can't find a file that it needs. If the name of the missing file
| has the extension tex, then it is looking for an input file that you
| specified---either your main file or another file inserted with an
| \input or \include command. If the missing file has the extension sty
| , then you have specified a nonexistent document style or style
