The files prv-xemacs.el and preview.el have been compiled with an
incompatible version of XEmacs seemingly, a developer version that
_has_ those functions available.

Quite unfortunate.  Since our XEmacs packages are supposed to also run
under XEmacs 21.4, it would be prudent to have them created using
21.4.  Reiner?

Anyway, what your department can do is to run
xemacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile prv-xemacs.el preview.el
in the directory where those files are located.

This should address the problem.
