file exhibiting the problem might help.
I tried to preview 'circ.tex' and this is the answer I get. Any hints

Take a look at the run buffer you get with C-c C-l. Anything
suspicious appearing in there with regard to the creation of the above
file?

I managed to locate the problem thanks to this. Pdf2dsc was not in my
path, I did not know that both the bin and lib folder for ghostscript in
the path.

Now everything seems to be working. Thanks, Henrik

Perhaps we should pop up the run buffer automatically if an error
occurs.

I am surprised that pdf2dsc would not be in the bin folder of
GhostScript. That sounds really broken.
