Hello All,

I have recently installed Emacs and LaTex in Ubuntu 8.04 using these
directions:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80344

Everything seemed to work well but when I opened up emacs I received the
following error message:

An error has occured while loading 'home/sam/.emacs':

File Error: "Cannot open load file",
"usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/preview-latex/preview-latex.el"

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause of the error in
your initialization file and remove it. Start emacs with the '--debug-init'
option to view a complete error backtrace

I am not quite sure what is going on here. Could anyone point me in the
right direction or even show me how to "Start emacs with the '--debug-init'
option"?

Thanks in advance.

Sam

You need a command line. A terminal emulation or GNU Emacs can give  
you one. Then, on the command line, enter

	emacs --debug-init &

and press RETurn.
