Thank you, this improves the situation.  However, preview-latex still
does not work.  Ghostscript does not produce PNG files we expect and
sometimes raises errors.  I quote a sample error at the last of this
message.

I have an impression that gs fails to write out PNG files at specified
paths due to restricted permission about file operation.
