[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.86; Preview wont work

[Stefan Frick]

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

Every time I try to use the AucTex Preview nothing is shown. In pdf Mode
the _region_.pdf file is fine. But the gs command wont produce any
output png pictures.
