Long listener, first time caller
org-latex-preview was failing with: org-compile-file: File
"/private/var/folders/5b/m1bt7sss2n19dwg1d62h_hrw0000gn/T/orgtexGt3N0x.dvi"
wasn’t produced. Please adjust ‘dvipng’ part of
‘org-preview-latex-process-alist’.
Root cause was that on my system ~/org is a symlink to some icloud auto
sync directory (for beorg).
After much stumbling (despite my 10+ years of daily emacs use I haven't
much explored the lispy bowels!) I landed on the following solution:
(setq org-preview-latex-process-alist
'((dvipng :programs ("latex" "dvipng")
:description "dvi > png"
:message "You need to install the programs: latex and
dvipng."
:image-input-type "dvi"
:image-output-type "png"
:image-size-adjust (1.0 . 1.0)
:latex-compiler ("latex -interaction nonstopmode
-output-directory %o %f")
:image-converter ("dvipng -D %D -T tight -o %o/%b.png
%o/%b.dvi"))))
(defun my/org-latex-preview ()
(let ((find-file-visit-truename t)
(vc-follow-symlinks t))
(org-latex-preview)))
(defun my/org-latex-preview-buffer ()
(let ((find-file-visit-truename t)
(vc-follow-symlinks t))
(org-latex-preview-buffer)))
Could the default symlink behavior be improved?

May you please provide instructions how to reproduce the problem
starting from emacs -Q?
