I still have this problem. It does seem like a bug that
/usr/share/texmf
is not in my latex path.
I notice it with documents using pst-pdf which needs preview.sty.
Thanks for the work-around José.

Oh, I forgot to mention. The preview function resumed its normal
function in F17 after the subsequent reboot. I don't know why it
didn't work the first time around, though...
Anyway, it's working now, although I'm still getting it from the
fedora repository.
Cheers.

Ok, using Fedora 16, I've found the package tex-preview, distributed by the
fedora repository. Installing that package, Instant Preview resumed its
normal function in Fedora 16.
However, in another desktop, running Fedora 17, I still don't have Instant
Preview, although tex-preview is also installed there. Is there any reason
for the different behaviour between F16 and F17?
Hi Rudi,
I have the same problem and only now I have been able to look into it.
AFAICS what happens is that preview.sty is not in texlive search path.
$ kpsewhere url.sty
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/url/url.sty
$ kpsewhere preview.sty
$
According to texconfig
kpathsea variables
...
TEXMF={/usr/share/texlive/texmf-config,/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var,/root/texmf,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf-config,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf-var,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf,!!/usr/share/texlive/../texmf-local,!!/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist}
...
Note that /usr/share/texmf is not in that search path.
Since /usr/share/texmf-local is in the list making it a symbolic link to
/usr/share/texmf (after running texhash) shows it again:
$ kpsewhere preview.sty
/usr/share/texlive/../texmf-local/tex/latex/preview/preview.sty
Jindrich is this diagnostic right and if so could you fix it allowing the tex
packages in fedora to work with texlive-2012.
Thanks and regards, :-)
