[AUCTeX] AUCTeX preview fails, preview.sty not found

[David A. Ventimiglia]

Hello,

I just installed AUCTeX-11.83 into my Linux account (Fedora 4 on a 32bit 
Dell), and am using it with Emacs 22.0.50.1, using these commands

cd $HOME/download/auctex-11.83
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --with-texmf-dir=$HOME/local
make
make install

After putting the proper commands into my .emacs file and restaring 
Emacs, I opened $HOME/download/auctex-11.83/circ.tex and tried to render 
it within Emacs using the Command-->LaTeX command from the menu.  This 
seemed to work ok, and when I chose to Quick View the document, it 
opened in xdvi just fine.  Then I tried the Preview-->for Document 
command from the menu, it failed.  The log file said it couldn't find 
preview.sty, which had been copied into $HOME/local/tex/latex/preview.  
As a temp fix, I copied this file into the same directory as circ.tex, 
then tried it again.  No, I don't see any error in the circ.log file, 
but the preview doesn't appear, and the rendered circ.dvi file is 
incomplete.  What have I done wrong?  Thanks!

Regards,
David
