Note that the binaries require RPM version 3.
The reason for this is that LaTeX found no preview images in the document in question.
One reason might be that there are no previews to be seen. If you have not used preview-latex before, you might not know its manner of operation. One sure-fire way to test if you just have a document where no previews are to be found is to use the provided example document circ.tex (you will have to copy it to some directory where you have write permissions). If the symptom persists, you have a problem, and the problem is most likely a LaTeX problem. Here are possible reasons:
Another possibility is to get the tar archive, edit the
preview-latex.spec accordingly, repack and then use the
appropriate rpm command for building RPMs from a tar
archive. If this works, please don't forget to send us the spec file,
so that we may be able to help others with your platform.
Please note that the XEmacs installation is different, since XEmacs has a package system that gets used here. Please make sure that you read and follow the installation instructions for XEmacs.
The XEmacs Lisp files provided by the preview-latex-xemacs RPM package are in XEmacs package format and will be installed right into the XEmacs package tree. The location is detected when the RPM file is built. If it is wrong for your system, doing an
rpmbuild --rebuild preview-latex-0.9.1-1.fedora.src.rpm
should do the trick and should generate RPMs for your system (even if that System happens to be SuSE rather than Fedora).
Alternatively you could install preview-latex manually in your home directory either in ~/.xemacs (for XEmacs version below 21.4.x) or in ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages (for versions starting with 21.4).
Most likely you installed the RPM files and you have an XEmacs version which uses a different architecture of directories, (SuSE is known to have a no standard architecture, besides it changes it from SuSE version to SuSE version). Your init file will contain an invocation of preview-latex according to the installation instructions in Installation.
In consequence, the attempt to load preview-latex when entering AUCTeX mode fails because of preview-latex being in a different directory, and this AUCTeX's actication is aborted. Please notice that the installation instructions for Emacs and XEmacs differ.
