I don't remember. I have to investigate.... But where are all the
functions of this file now?

I don't know. All I know is: when I use org-7.8.3 with my org
setting everything works smooth, but when I use org-8.0.3 with
the same setting the above error shows up.

Backward compatibility problems, I say.

The issue is the following: in org 7.8.03 I can use
org-preview-latex-fragment in different  buffers with different
mayor modes! For example 

    -   a buffer in gnus-message-mode

    -  a buffer in matlab etc! 


This is for me a very important feature: not to switch to org
mode.

Here is a minimal example, which works in 7.8.03 but not in 8.0.3

    -   use gnus-summary-post-news, 

    -  I type some latex formula \(\int f=0\)

    - I execute org-preview-latex-fragment and voila the png are
      displayed, 

    -  later I use org-mime-htmlize to send this png
      via my email.
