You must install LaTeX for preview to work.
configure: error: ./configure failed for preview
Which I don't understand because LaTeX seems to be working normally,
for example when I run latex sample2e.tex, I get:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012)
restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/sample2e.tex
LaTeX2e <2011/06/27>
[...]
Output written on sample2e.dvi (3 pages, 7484 bytes).
Transcript written on sample2e.log.
The point is I previously installed TeXLive and AucTeX from the Ubuntu
repositories. I then found out that the TeXLive version was the 2009
one, so I manually installed TeXLive 2012 and removed AucTeX.
I'm trying to install AucTeX from source because if I install it from
the repositories, it ask for some TeXLive 2009 dependencies I removed.
I run Ubuntu 12.04 and Emacs 23.3.1.
Would anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance for your help.
