[Bug-AUCTeX] Re: preview-latex with cygwin, xemacs and tetex 3 does not work

[Yadin Y. Goldschmidt]

Here is the output of M-x preview-report-bug. There is only one
preview.sty in my path from auctex 11.81.

To: address@hidden
Subject: 11.81; no preview images with cygwin tetex 3 xemacs 21.4.17 auctex
11.81
X-Reporter-Void-Vars-Found: image-types
--text follows this line--

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

preview latex works fine with tetex 2.02 but not tetex 3.0

Mule) of Tue May  3 2005 on w2kcikoas
