[AUCTeX] Preview images do not appear

[Adam M. Goldstein]

Hello all,

I have been trying to get latex-preview to work, but I can't. The  
images don't appear. However, everything seems to be in order.

I am using version 23.0.0 on Mac OS X, by way of Emacs,app version NS  
9.0-rc1.

The problem is that, although the run of preview appears to work, all  
I get where there should be a preview image is a little red circle  
with a white line through it.

The error will occur with the following file:

documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is a symbol: $\alpha$.
\end{document}

I select "generate previews for document" from the menus.
