I would want to point out that rpm files for RedHat 8.0 can also be
found for <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net> if you follow
the link to the project page and to Files from there.  If your paper
has any non-trivial amount of mathematics in it, a must.

I agree, but have not found out how to fix them, yet.  And I am the
maintainer of AUCTeX...  Shows you the incompetence that some projects
have to suffer under.
