That is perfectly fine.  We can live with that.  And if you copy&paste
the subject line, stuff like this will make it through the filters
without moderation.

Uh Oh.  File names with spaces in them.  I don't feel safe around
them.  Probably nothing to do with your problem, though.

That does not by itself mean anything.  It is impossible to guess your
document structure from this vague statement.  It does not help if you
describe some things using vague expressions that could mean anything.
Instead, you should try to create a toy document with the same problem
that you are describing, something that is not longer than a page, but
has the same sort of file structure, and that shows the same problem.
Then you can post that and the complete outputs, and we don't need to
guess.

No.  At the very least, we need the relevant output from LaTeX's run.
The stuff that gets displayed when you do C-c C-l.  Do a generous
cut&paste around snippet 367, including maybe the previous 3 snippets
and everything that follows before the LaTeX run is finished.

Ouch.  From image-types, it would appear that your Emacs is compiled
with PNG support, so you just have to make sure that you have the
libraries installed.  Your GhostScript also claimed to support PNG, so
pnm is not really a good choice: slow and disk-intensive.

Nothing to do with your current problem, though.

Rest of the options looked standard.
