You shouldn't do this. The manual says: If preview-latex is installed via the Emacs package manager (ELPA), activation should be automatic upon installation. > • Looked for "preview-latex.el" in .emacs.d: there's no such > file.

Yes, IIRC "preview-latex.el" isn't generated when installed from ELPA. > • So I tried (load "preview.el" nil t t) in my init file (restarting > Emacs), but still nothing. See above.
