Problem with preview-latex

Problem with preview-latex

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,
I've tried to use preview latex to use on a newly started document. It works
on other documents but somehow does not like this one:

I used C-c C-p C-d to preview the entire document but preview-latex only
displays error symbols next to the formulas.

If I invoke just latex the document renders fine. What could be wrong?

Please use

M-x preview-report-bug RET

for reporting problems.

Here is the rub:

prv_Nachrechnung is a predumped format containing the preamble, dumped
by using mylatex.ltx.

Normal.  And everything looks normal up to here:

Fine till here.

But now:

And so on. Instead of an output file name, here is an empty string.
In my comparable test, there is

Running `Preview-Ghostscript' with ``gs -dOutputFile\=\(junk.prv/tmp5246ebu/pr1-\%d.png\) -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -DNOPLATFONTS -dPrinted -dTextAlphaBits\=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits\=4 -sDEVICE\=png16m -r132.114x132.241''

So you are doing something that messes up the file name generation of
GhostScript within preview-latex.  I have no idea what would do that,
and doing a proper bug report with the intended commands to the proper
channels might help pinpointing this.

No bug report made it through to the list apparently, so it might be a
good idea to repeat the process.

There have been some problems with automoderation of SPAM recently, I
don't know whether this might be related to your report not arriving.
