Preview LaTeX fragment not working (for me)

Preview LaTeX fragment not working (for me)

I am trying to Preview LaTeX fragment (11.7.4).  I have the preview
working in Preview LaTeX but when I (C-c C-x C-l) org-mode shows empty
boxes.

The org mode file is:
#+OPTIONS: tex:dvipng
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{tikz}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{attrib}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{amsmath}
#+LATEX_HEADER:
\usepackage{/home/evan/Documents/chicago/learning/Causality/bug.sty}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \let\iint\undefined
#+LATEX_HEADER: \let\iiint\undefined
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{dsfont}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[retainorgcmds]{IEEEtrantools}

* Model                                     :export:

\( e^{i\pi}=-1 \).

 Let us start with a nested theoretical model:

\begin{equation*}
\begin{array}{rcl}
y & = & [1, x_1, x_2]
\begin{bmatrix}
\beta_0  \\
\beta_1  \\
\beta_2  \end{bmatrix}
  + \epsilon_w \\
x_1 & = & \mathds{1}_{[-1 + \beta_4 \cdot x_4 + \beta_5 \cdot x_5 +
\epsilon_j]}
\end{array}
\end{equation*}

The exported LaTeX buffer generates the appropriate formula images.
When I tried to modify org-format-latex-options using M-x
org-format-latex-options, there was no such variable.  The version of
org-mode I have was compiled from the git repo.

Thank you very much for any help.

Best,
Evan

AUCTeX Preview LaTeX didn't work with Org last time I tried, but I'm
not sure whether you're referring to this or Org's preview
capabilities (which lack a bit behind AUCTeX's).

Do try to cut it to a minimum example and use less exotic packages.  I
don't want to install new packages for the sake of trying your
example.

In any case, it's probably a conflict of packages (some functions may
be defined twice).  On my system the files used to generate images are
stored in the root of /tmp (on a GNU/Linux system).

Also, check out the variable org-format-latex-header.

Also, on previewing in general: Do you use org entities?  They make
stuff like this pretty readable.  If you need more readability you can
even create math matrices with Org-tables.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
