The problem appeared after one time I ran brew upgrade in terminal. I guess it is because the latest ghostscript has some incompatibility issue with AUCTeX. I have searched a lot and tried a lot. Here are what I have done:
- I use Mac. There is a known problem with the path of ghostscript. This line is in my init file:
(setq preview-gs-command "/usr/local/bin/gs"). It should be correct. - I have tried to manually install old versions of ghostscript, like 9.21 or 9.25. They used to solve the problem, but not this time.
- I uninstalled ghostscript installed with brew and manually installed 9.25. Not working.
