[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.86; pngs not being generated by preview-latex

[Clark Taylor]

I cannot get preview-latex working on my system with Windows Vista.  I

have all of the other programs properly installed (I have done this

numerous times on other systems), but when I run preview with the simple

latex file below, I get a big red stop sign instead of my beautiful

\mu.  To debug, I have done the following things:

I can open up a "png" file directly in emacs and it displays, so I know

I am connecting with libpng properly.

I run gswin32c from the command line (using all the same switches as auctex generates) and it properly converts a pdf

into a png.  In addition, it runs from anywhere in the command line so I

know the path is set up properly.

Finally, I can look at the output of the preview command (using C-c C-l)

and look in the directory where it is putting temporary files.  While

the .dsc is generated, there are not .png files showing up in this

directory.  I am at a lose as to why.

Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
