Ralf said "<-- Type `C-x  C-e' here", meaning that you should put the
cursor right behind the closing parenthesis before typing C-c C-e.

Utter nonsense.  Please stop digging around in the dark.  AUCTeX comes
with a file "INSTALL" which describes what steps to undertake for
installing and activating both AUCTeX and preview-latex.  In fact, it
would appear that loading all files in your site-start.d directory
should do the trick, judging from your configure line.

What are the contents of your site-start.el file?
