Many things -- possibly! Aquamacs Emacs comes with AUCTeX and 
preview-latex, no installation necessary.

You not only need to activate preview-latex by loading the ELisp file, 
you too need to add the path to the preview-latex files:

	(add-to-list 'load-path "/Library/Application Support/Emacs/preview")

OTOH Aquamacs Emacs is very keen to load recursively everything it 
finds, even the wrong files. Can you try to remove the recently 
installed files and directories in /Library/Application Support/Emacs, 
but keep the load statement in .emacs? This should make it work -- if 
there is another mistake in AUCTeX and preview-latex I can't be of more 
help because Aquamacs Emacs doesn't launch for me because it loads code 
for a version 20 in a subdirectory of /Library/Application 
Support/Emacs and fails.
