bug#25002: Fail to preview latex in macOS emacs

[Ruoquan Wang]

Dear Mr./Mrs.,

Here is my proble while installing auctex+emacs. I installed auctex 
11.89 and emacs 25.1 on MacOS-Sierra as well as several other plugins of 
latex. They both work well. I can also produce pdf files normally. But I 
just cannot do preview in emacs. The .emacs file are in the attachment.

The bug report in emacs are as follows:

To: address@hidden
Subject: 11.89; Display geometry unavailable: Wrong type argument: 
number-or-maker-p, nil
From: Steve 
<address@hidden's-MacBook-Pro.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>
--text follows this line--

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