If you give me build and upload instructions, I will try to provide
SuSE RPMs.

$ rpmbuild --rebuild preview-latex-0.9-1.fedora.src.rpm
fails for me, because I cannot built preview-latex.pdf:

auctex/preview/doc$ texi2dvi --pdf preview-latex.texi
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5)

After increasing this value to 150000, I get:

I don't know which limit is reached here, because I can only find this
number as a comment in texmf.cnf:

$ grep -w 30000 /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
% US English, German, and Portuguese: 30000.

A workaround is to remove macros (@AUCTeX, @previewlatex) from the
@subsections:
