[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.86; preview-latex doesn't work with pstricks

[Dr. Michael Dowling]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting
a bug report.  In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an
up-to-date version of AUCTeX.  So please upgrade to the version
available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your
installation is older than the one available from the web site.

If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try
to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it
in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.

If I hasve the following line in my latex file, preview latex dies.
Here's the line:

\usepackage[prologue,table,svgnames,dvipsnames]{pstricks}

Here's the error message:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening input file" "no such file or 
directory" "/home/mike/tex/linput/_region_.prv/tmp4425kQn/preview.ps")
  signal(file-error ("Opening input file" "no such file or directory" 
"/home/mike/tex/linput/_region_.prv/tmp4425kQn/preview.ps"))
  preview-reraise-error(#<process Preview-DviPS>)
  preview-gs-dvips-sentinel(#<process Preview-DviPS> "Preview-DviPS" t)
  (lambda (process command) (preview-gs-dvips-sentinel process command 
t))(#<process Preview-DviPS> "Preview-DviPS")
  TeX-command-sentinel(#<process Preview-DviPS> "exited abnormally with
  code 1\n")

I don't know if this is a problem with preview-latex or pstricks.

Cheers,
