Comment 41 for bug 543266

In regards to the last two comments. I was also on 12.04 (with auctex 11.86 and gs 9.05) and preview inside of emacs was not working. However, unlike this bug, my error message read

    Error: /invalidfileaccess in --file--

not

    Error: /typecheck in --setfileposition--

I filed a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/auctex/+bug/1028681

I was able to solve the problem by downgrading gs to 8.70. Alternatively, does upgrading auctex to the cvs version also fix this other problem?
