[Bug-AUCTeX] No preview images found anywhere

[Stephen Harris]

Hello,

 

I originally posted this to the bug-auctex, the default email

address using preview-latex and M-x preview-report-bug RET

but I noticed there was very little traffic recorded at the archives.

 

Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.

 

I used circ.tex trying to generate a preview image. Preview
said it contained no images. I also tried this short file
which returned the same error of no images. I tried all

the options under the Preview menu. I read about

Gadzillions in the FAQ, which is happening here, but

there must be some way to generate a preview or

it isn't a preview. I can "view" the circ.ps file or

circ.pdf by calling gswin32 from inside Xemacs

with C-c C-c view RET, then type in gsview and

the name of the file RET and that opens GS.
