CVS-1.234; Does not display anything


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

To get the installation into proper directories, I used

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-texmf-dir=/usr/local/share/texmf/

With this installation, I open the usual minimal file:

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage[textmath]{preview}

\begin{document}

$a$

\end{document}

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End: 

Upon pressing C-c C-p C-b y, nothing changes, I only get the usual
"Type C-c C-l ..." in the minibuffer.  The output buffer is attached
as _region_.output.  In the _region_.tex buffer, the alpha is
graphically displayed as expected.  It looks like this, by copy&paste
which makes the preview go away:

CVS-1.234; Wrong installation destination


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

I did today:

cvs up
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
su
# make install

This installed files in *very*wrong* directories: LaTeX input files
went to TEXMFHOME, although it should probably be TEXMFLOCAL, and lisp
files where put into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, *not* into
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp or something similar:

alhambra:/home/frank/src/preview# make install
(cd latex ; make DESTDIR= install)
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/local/franksrc/preview/latex'
../mkinstalldirs /home/frank/texmf/tex/latex/preview
for x in preview.sty prauctex.def prauctex.cfg prshowbox.def prshowlabels.def prtracingall.def
prtightpage.def prlyx.def prcounters.def prfootnotes.def ; do \
  echo /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $x /home/frank/texmf/tex/latex/preview ; \
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $x /home/frank/texmf/tex/latex/preview ; \
done
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 preview.sty /home/frank/texmf/tex/latex/preview
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 prauctex.def /home/frank/texmf/tex/latex/preview

Now it is known and debugged.  It was an unfortunate security setting
in pdf2dsc coming with GhostScript 8.x.  I have changed the manner of
accessing files completely.  As a result, all versions of GhostScript
should now work in the CVS version.

That's what it looks like here.  Probably relevant is the entry

Should now work in PDF and PS mode on every Ghostscript since 6.51 or
so.

That would mean that the file does not get identified correctly.  This
should not happen.  It is not the only such report I see, and I find
this confusing.

Thanks for all the testing work.

maketitle is not previewed by default.  I have seen no indication that
it ever was in the CVS log of preview.dtx, but maybe something is
missing there: I vaguely remember some \maketitle business.

preview-latex 0.9 released...

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.emacs,comp.text.tex as well.

This is the large update everybody has been waiting for.  Of course, a
few last-minute bugs escaped notice, but they have been there for a
while, I guess.

Release notes for version 0.9 of the preview-latex package:

preview-latex makes LaTeX a tightly integrated component of your
editing workflow by visualizing selected source chunks (such as single
formulas or graphics) directly as images in the source buffer.
You get to have your eye candy and edit it, too.

The employed style file `preview.sty' is independently useful for
extraction of selected text elements as images.  EPS Graphics that
were created using dvips can now be used with the `tightpage' option,
and some new commands and options are available for selecting
previews.

The package is released under the GNU Public License (GPL).  At the
current point of time, at least GNU Emacs-21.3 under the X window
system or XEmacs-21 in version 21.4.10 or later, AUCTeX (11.51 or
later required for PDF support), a working LaTeX installation and
GhostScript are required.  dvipng (version 1.4 or later: teTeX-3.0
works, TeXlive2004 not), a very fast dvi converter, can be used to
speed up the conversion.  For Windows, MacOS Carbon or native GTK+
toolkit support, a developer version of GNU Emacs (to be released as
22.1) is definitely required; for other platforms, use of it is
advantageous.

Okay, fine with me.  Now if I use `./configure
--with-lispdir=/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/', I get

prefix = /usr/local$(null)
lispdir = /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/$(null)
icondir = ${packagelispdir}/images$(null)
datadir = ${prefix}/share$(null)
packagedir = no$(null)
packagelispdir = /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp//preview$(null)
auctexdir = /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp$(null)

Notice the double slash?

Oh, and you might want to change "AucTeX" to "AUCTeX" in Makefile.in.

A more thourogh reading suggests that those must be at the _end_ of
the path string. Much better.
