    Summary: This paper develops a new empirical likelihood method for semiparametric linear regression with a completely unknown error distribution and right censored survival data. The method is based on the Buckley-James [\textit{J. Buckley} and \textit{I. James}, Biometrika 66, 429--436 (1979; Zbl 0425.62051)] estimating equation. It inherits some appealing properties of the complete data empirical likelihood method. For example, it does not require variance estimation which is problematic for the Buckley-James estimator. We also extend our method to incorporate auxiliary information. We compare our method with the synthetic data empirical likelihood of \textit{G. Li} and \textit{Q.-H. Wang} [Stat. Sin. 13, No. 1, 51--68 (2003; Zbl 1017.62093)] using simulations. We also illustrate our method using Stanford heart transplantation data.
