A different Linux/UNIX?

You could try to correct load-path. You could try to find out, with some trace 
command or such, which files are actually opened and loaded by GNU Emacs. One 
of them might cause the failures.

A very useful option is to launch GNU Emacs with -Q, i.e. without any 
customisation. Then, in *scratch* buffer, you can prepare it to load auctex and 
preview-latex etc. Then open a (La)TeX file and see if the behaviour is 
different from that when launched customised. If it is, try to launch with -q 
(no personal customisation, only that from the system). Are auctex and 
preview-latex already loaded (the *Messages* buffer might tell)? Then you don't 
need to repeat anything. If not, what is the behaviour when you prepare things 
again manually in *scratch* buffer and open a (La)TeX file? Is the setting of 
the variable reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX necessary? What is the behaviour when you 
don't load preview-latex? Is AUCTeX finding your TeX distribution? Do you know 
the AUCTeX mail list? Maybe it's for bug reporting…
