On Ubuntu 20.04, I try to use AUCTeX from its local Git repo directly according to the instructions described in the INSTALL file as shown below:

```
6.1 Using AUCTeX from local Git repo
====================================

With the techniques described above, it is also possible to use AUCTeX
directly from a local Git repository. Let's assume you have your Git
repositories under '~/development/'.

First, you have to fetch a copy of the AUCTeX Git repository. In a
shell, change directory to '~/development/' and do:
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/auctex.git

Now change directory to '~/development/auctex' and run
'./autogen.sh'. Next thing is to run 'configure' like this:
./configure --without-texmf-dir --with-lispdir=.

When finished, simply enter
make
and you're finished. Note that the 'make install' step is not
necessary.

Now you have to tell Emacs about the plan. The following variables
must be set in your init file because their normal values are only
correct when AUCTeX is installed:
(setq TeX-data-directory "~/development/auctex"
TeX-lisp-directory TeX-data-directory)

The info files will be available with this:
(eval-after-load 'info
'(add-to-list 'Info-additional-directory-list
"~/development/auctex/doc"))

Now you're ready to load 'auctex.el' and 'preview-latex.el' out of this
directory:
(load "~/development/auctex/auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "~/development/auctex/preview-latex.el" nil t t)
```

But based on the above method, in Emacs, I find the preview function failed to work with the error: can't find the preview.sty file.

Any hints for solving this problem?

Regards,
HY
