I just installed emacs and auctex from source. Then I added the lines
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
In my .emacs file to make emacs load the packages. Auctex seems to work, as I get a command menu when i load a .tex file. But I get no preview menu. Guess preview-latex is not working. Why is that?
