[AUCTeX] Question on Preview

[Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear listmembers,
I installed auctex 11.86 and I stumble over issues when using preview. When 
saying "Preview -> Document" I get a "one-way-road"- sign and the error 
messages are listed below (sorry, somewhat lengthy ...)

The document is a latex document, it looks as follows:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
f_{Res}=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{m_{M}F_{M}}}=\frac{\omega_{0}}{2\pi}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

The output after activating preview latex see below. Obviously ghostscript 
stumbles across some issue - but I do not understand which one.

Thank you very much for looking into this,
take care

This is one of the errors I get. Maybe you can guess what is going wrong here
