[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.84; conversion of formula to picture fails

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

In Emacs.app, the Cocoa port of GNU Emacs 23.0.60 (http://emacs- 
app.sourceforge.net/), it fails to convert formulas from the preview/ 
circ.tex file to pictures. In the _region_ output buffer no error is  
mentioned:

        Output written on _region_.pdf (1 page, 10249 bytes).
        Transcript written on _region_.log.
        
        Preview-LaTeX exited as expected with code 1 at Sat Jan  5 12:45:33
	Running `Preview-PDF2DSC' with ``pdf2dsc _region_.pdf _region_.prv/ 
tmp2780XsX/preview.dsc''

	Running `Preview-Ghostscript' with ``gs -dOutputFile\=\(_region_.prv/

Running in *shell* the (expanded and edited) gs command on  
_region_.pdf I get only the GS> prompt ... but the output file has  
been created:

	-rw-r--r--   1 pete  admin  637  5 Jan 12:48 ./_region_.prv/ 
tmp2780XsX/pr1-1.png

In the X client version of GNU Emacs 23.0.60 all works fine. What can  
I do to come closer to the cause of the failure? The variable image- 
types has the value:

        (png gif tiff jpeg xpm xbm pbm)

so PNG is supported, and I can open in dired a PNG file and see the  
picture.
