Well, preview-latex uses auctex (which you must be running) to figure
out such things. Do you have something like
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "thesis"
%%% End:
at the bottom of your files? If not, you need to add it, to tell
auctex what the master file for a given file is. Note that you should
not add the .tex prefix. My master file here is thesis.tex.
For further details see the auctex documentation. Incidentally, I
would expect you to have the same problem with latexing in this
case. Ie. if you are viewing a latex file which is not the master
file, then if you do C-c C-c, it will look to what the master file is
to figure out what to compile, and will not work unless the above
lines are there.
Incidentally, I run
`C-c C-p C-d' `preview-document' LaTeX/Preview/Document
Run preview on the present document.
to get sections right. It needs to scan the entire document. I'm not
sure if preview-buffer would work, because I don't use it.
If you have things set up in this way but it is still not working for
you, then I don't know what the problem is, because a similar setup
works fine for me here, tracking Sarge, and running GNU emacs 21.2
with preview-latex 0.7.3-2 and auctex 11.11-2.
For expert help you should contact the preview-latex developers at
preview-latex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. But hopefully the above
will solve your immediate problem.
Faheem.
