I modified the file
$ emacs /usr/lib/fricas/emacs/fricas.el
as you suggested but when I tried efricas again there was not change
in behaviour.
I do not see any dvi files in the Temp directory so I tried this:
bp...@drdkim-bpage1 ~
$ cat /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/bpage/LOCALS~1/Temp/fricas508xRN.tex
\documentclass{article}\usepackage[active,dvips,tightpage,displaymath]{preview}\
begin{document}\begin{preview}$$
2
\leqno(1)
$$
\end{preview}\end{document}
bp...@drdkim-bpage1 ~
$ latex /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/bpage/LOCALS~1/Temp/fricas508xRN.tex
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
file:line:error style messages enabled.
%&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `/cygdrive/c/DOCUME'.
<to be read again>
\protect
<*> /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~
1/bpage/LOCALS~1/Temp/fricas508xRN.tex
Please type another input file name:
---
This looks to me like some kind of problem with the file names. The
name with the ~ character 'DOCUME~1' is fairly specific to Windows.
This is called the "old name format" (max 8 characters) which is used
to refer to longer names possibly containing spaces such as 'Documents
and Settings'.
I would guess that this (at least in part) a cygwin problem. I do not
know what you can do to enable characters like ~ in "linux" file names
- maybe insert '...' somewhere?
Maybe I could change where it is trying to create temporary files, but
I do not (yet) know how to do this in cygwin.
