app-emacs/auctex-11.85 (emerged with use-flag preview-latex) fails to generate preview on emacs. Preview-latex seems to try to execute gs -dOutputFile\=\(_region_.prv/tmp12704_yN/pr1-1.png\) whilst the file pr1-1.png has not been generated, (only _region_.prv/tmp12704_yN/preview.ps exists). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open tex file with emacs 2. open menu preview 3. select generate previews for environment (section, buffer etc.) Actual Results: No preview appear. Expected Results: Preview appears.

The problem occurs only if the source tex file invokes \usepackage{import} With the same init emacs file the problem does not occur is auctex is run with ubuntu-linux.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{import} \begin{document} \begin{displaymath} x = a \end{displaymath} \end{document} This does not show any errors to me when previewing. Please provide a "working" minimal example (see minimalbeispiel.de) and attach it to the bug. What Ghostscript version are you using and what other Emacs packages? What is your TeX distribution? TeXLive?
(In reply to comment #2) Thanks for your reply! > \documentclass{article} > \usepackage{import} > \begin{document} > \begin{displaymath} > x = a > \end{displaymath} > \end{document} > Indeed this work for me as well. However if I create a file named importfile.tex with only entry \usepackage{hyperref} then \documentclass{article} \usepackage{import} \import{somepath/}{importfile} \begin{document} \begin{eqnarray} x = a \end{eqnarray} \end{document} gives the above mentioned error message. Same if I use equation instead of eqnarray or if I add options to hyperref ( e.g. \usepackage[pagebackref,breaklinks,linktocpage]{hyperref}). Only the displaymath environment is previewed.

I don't have any problems, even with your example. Please disable all customisation files (~/.emacs, /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el) by commenting for example and only load ;;; auctex site-lisp configuration (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex") (require 'tex-site) ;; detect needed steps after rebuild (setq TeX-parse-self t) (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t) there. Then try again.
I tried what you suggested but the result is the same as described in - Comment #3 -: only the displaymath evironment is previewed correctly. However I now noticed that the problem is not the import package itself but really hyperref. In the customization setting you suggested the file \documentclass{article} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} \begin{eqnarray} x = a \end{eqnarray} \end{document} generates an error if hyperref is invoked. Again, no problem for displaymath. I also tried to run the script above on a different gentoo box with the same ".emacs" (and same packages installed) as in comment 3. Again I observe the same problem. Hyperref afaik belongs to dev-texlive/texlive-latex I have 2008-r1 installed with (-doc -source) I tried to reinstall, run "texconfig font rw" and to repeat all tests. Unfortunately, same problem. The same after trying "texconfig font ro". Thanks again for your time.
Ok, actually I have not the slightest idea what causes your problems. As I am not able to reproduce, helping you is hard. In the beginning I don't understand the Ghostscript error, so I have no place to start. Anyway, please attach the preview build log (called _region_.log).
Created attachment 190600 [details] preview build log Please find in attachment the _region_.log file Thanks anyways for your help. I use LaTeX a lot (with hyperref) so I really would like to understand what causes the problem.
(In reply to comment #7) > Created an attachment (id=190600) [edit] > preview build log > > Please find in attachment the _region_.log file Great...what hits me first is: Could not find \expanded. (etexcmds) That can mean that you are not using pdfTeX 1.50 or (etexcmds) that some package has redefined \expanded. (etexcmds) In the latter case, load this package earlier. Could you please process the file with \listfiles as the first command (even before \documentclass) and attach the logfile (the normal log file) to this bug. Do you have any packages installed in your local tree? Or self-modified files? > Thanks anyways for your help. One thanks is enough...really. :) > I use LaTeX a lot (with hyperref) so I really > would like to understand what causes the problem. I am curious, too.
Created attachment 190634 [details] Log file for test.tex Please find in attachment the log file for "test.tex" : \listfiles \documentclass{article} \usepackage{import} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} \begin{eqnarray} x = a \end{eqnarray} \end{document} The log file was generated while emacs and auctex where running with the setting recommended in comment #4. If I understood properly your question, in local overlay I have: [I] dev-lisp/gcl-2.6.7 Installed versions: 2.6.7[?](16:06:41 12/16/08)(X ansi custreloc dlopen emacs gprof readline tk -debug -doc) ebuild patched according to suggestions in Bugzilla Bug 236391 (this package is not installed on the other gentoo machine which has the same preview problem but on which I am not testing) For the other packages in overlay I can hardly see a relation with the problem, however they are [I] sys-apps/lm_sensors Installed versions: 2.10.7[?](22:07:57 12/17/08)(-sensord) patch suggested by Bugzilla Bug 245459 [I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics Installed versions: 1.0.0-r101[?](16:01:23 04/10/09)(hal -debug) Bugzilla Bug 236983 [I] net-wireless/bluez-utils Installed versions: 3.36-r1[?](22:58:25 04/19/09)(alsa cups usb -debug -examples -gstreamer -old-daemons -test-programs) patch from debian to get hid2hci call at startup and the device reset A part from the above and some latex .sty files (however not invoked in test.tex) it does not come to my mind having any other self-modified file in my gentoo installations. However, hyperref has always behaved in a way I found a bit odd in the following sense. If I do not use bibtex but put the literature in the same source file I can compile and obtain proper behaviour only if in the thebibliography environment individual \bibitem entries are separated by at least one empty line. I do not know whether this is an harmless bug or is the expected behaviour, I mention it here just because invoking the hyperref package seems to cause the problem. No further thanks then. :)
I forgot the most obvious thing. You use DVI output while I always use PDF output format. And with DVI it fails here, too. Please switch to PDF (C-c C-t C-p) and try again. This must have to do with the hyperref configuration in combination with AUCTeX. There are several chances to fix this bug by updating hyperref (there are some newer definitions on CTAN available) or by updating AUCTeX (a CVS version, I can provide one in the overlay, although not until Monday).
Yes, if I switch to pdf mode I get (on both gentoo boxes) the proper behaviour: eqnarray is previewed correctly with hyperref either directly invoked or imported from other file. For the moment I can live with the pdf mode, no hurry for the (most welcome anyways) updates. Have a nice week-end!

I tested with the current checkout of the AUCTeX CVS repository and the current hyperref from CTAN. It is not getting better. I will send a bug report to the AUCTeX maintainers first.

It is not getting better. I will send a bug > report to the AUCTeX maintainers first. Upstream told me that both are very limited in time so they are not reacting on bug reports. But situation may change in the course of this year. As I am not that deep into TeX (and preview has a really complex type of interaction with it) I cannot help here. I stay in contact in upstream and add feedback on this bug.
Is this still an issue in 11.86?
(In reply to comment #14) > Is this still an issue in 11.86? yes
I am now running: app-emacs/auctex-11.86-r1 app-editors/emacs-23.4-r1 app-text/ghostscript-gpl-9.04-r4 preview latex has become considerably more unstable: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{eqnarray} x = a \end{eqnarray} \end{document} cannnot be previewed with error gs -dOutputFile\=\(_region_.prv/tmp10433Kwo/pr1-1.png\) -q -dDELAYSAFER -dNOPAUSE -DNOPLATFONTS -dPrinted -dTextAlphaBits\=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits\=4 -sDEVICE\=png16m -r115.087x115.019 GS>{<</PermitFileReading[(_region_.prv/tmp10433Kwo/preview.ps)]>> setuserparams .locksafe} stopped pop {DELAYSAFER{.setsafe}if}stopped pop/.preview-BP currentpagedevice/BeginPage get dup null eq{pop{pop}bind}if def<</BeginPage{currentpagedevice/PageSize get dup 0 get 1 ne exch 1 get 1 ne or{.preview-BP }{pop}ifelse}bind/PageSize[1 1]>>setpagedevice/preview-do{[count 3 roll save]3 1 roll dup length 0 eq{pop}{setpagedevice}{ifelse .runandhide}stopped{handleerror quit}if aload pop restore}bind def [(_region_.prv/tmp10433Kwo/preview.ps)(r)file]aload exch dup 0 setfileposition 39904()/SubFileDecode filter cvx .runandhide aload pop dup dup 39904 setfileposition 138()/SubFileDecode filter cvx<<>>preview-do GPL Ghostscript 9.04: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1 GPL Ghostscript 9.04: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1 GPL Ghostscript 9.04: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1 GPL Ghostscript 9.04: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1 GS<1> The same occurs with app-text/ghostscript-gpl versions ~9.04-r5 ~9.04-r6 ~9.05 Oddly, in larger latex files preview works most (not always, the failure occurring in "random" places) of the times if I generate preview for buffer. It never works if I use generate preview if I try to generate preview at point. In the case of the test file preview did not work with any of the generating methods. preview for buffer
In reference to my last entry. The problem is solved by using app-text/ghostscript-gpl 9.05-r1 However, preview-latex keeps on failing if \usepackage[pagebackref,breaklinks,linktocpage,pageanchor,nesting]{hyperref} is invoked (independently of the options) in eqnarray and equation environments. It works instead for $$ and $$ $$ environments.
Is this still an issue in auctex-11.92?
