Hello, When trying to invoke the preview mode I get the error listed in the subject line.
I am using emacs 22.1 and AucTeX 11.84. I use the cygwin environment, and ghostscript for windows. When I try to generate a preview on a region (equation in this example) \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{equation} a=b \end{equation} \end{document} I get the following in my error buffer: Preview-LaTeX exited as expected with code 1 at Mon Jul 02 14:32:18 Running `Preview-DviPS' with ``dvips -Pwww "_region_.dvi" -o "_region_.prv/tmp43288un"/preview.ps'' This is dvips(k) 5.95b Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2007.07.02:1432' -> _region_.prv/tmp43288un/preview.ps <tex.pro><texps.pro><special.pro>. <cmr10.pfb><cmmi10.pfb>[1] Preview-DviPS finished at Mon Jul 02 14:32:18 DviPS sentinel: Spawning child process: invalid argument I think that auctex can see dvips and gswin32.exe: It can generate a ps file and if I invoke the shell command gswin32, I get a gs window with a prompt.
