AUXtex is not showing preview in EMACS

Question

I have just installed AUXtex and I follow the instruction on the manual very carefully, however, when I tried preview it shows an error icon instead of the preview image of the equation. What should I do to fix this?

I use: Emacs 23 Ghostscript 9.01 texlive ubuntu 11

My TEX code:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
The solution to $\sqrt{x} = 5$ is $x=25$.

$A$
\end{document} 

---

l.6 The solution to $
                     \sqrt{x} = 5$ is $x=25$.

Ah - I had to compile auctex from cvs. For whatever reason, preview doesn't work on 11.04 from the site's stable .tar.gz's. Happy editing.
