I originally posted this question directly on the Auctex mailing list but did not receive a response. I'll hopefully get more luck on the TeX Exchange.
I was recently reminded by this post regarding availability of preview-latex. After pressing C-c C-p C-b, I get small empty boxes next to my equations. That is, the png images aren't displayed correctly. I looked into the temporary directories and the png files are indeed created. They're just not being displayed correctly in emacs. Does anyone know how to fix this?
After getting that to work, I would also like to set the "font" color in the png files to be green since I have a black background in emacs (currently set to white for testing). How could I modify this?
FYI, I am using AucTeX 11.86 with Emacs 23 in Ubuntu 11.04. Also, this error was reproduced with a simple LaTeX file (below), and emacs was started without the init file (loaded AucTeX and preview-latex manually).
foo.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Let $x=1$. %%
Then
\[
\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} x^{x}
\]
is undefined. %%
\end{document}
UPDATE 9/16/2011: Right clicking on the emtpy box, I get an option for "view error". On one of it, the error is:

Any thoughts on how to fix this??? Thanks.
