The problem is very nicely described here. If there is a symbolic link to a
directory, such that the original and link are at a different depth in the
filesystem, org-mode latex preview fails.

The bug and how to reproduce (a potential solution to it) can be found here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2023-10/msg01152.html

Copy of the most relevant part:

The link describes that one should use file-truename before
file-relative-name. Ergo one possible solution could be adding
file-relativename to a bunch of places, or if org-mode is hardwired to
produce the files into /tmp, maybe relative paths should not be used (as
far as I can tell, the error occurs when it tries to read
../../../tmp/orgtexRANDOM... which is actually /tmp/orgtexRANDOM...)

I am unable to reproducing using the latest version of Org mode.
May you please try to upgrade your Org mode version and let me know if
you are still seeing the problem?

Yepp, that helped. Thanks for checking (my bad for not checking).

Best,
