I have followed the first method. It generated a file 
auctex-emacs-11.82-2.fedora.noarch.rpm. Then I have uninstalled 
emacs-auctex-11.81-1.fc4.noarch and installed the other.
Aparently it works fine.

I have to say that I use mainly Windows and I am not very fond of Emacs, 
but I find this preview facility quite impressing. I know that new 
versions of LyX implement preview. I have not tried that yet. But I would 
like using preview with my usual editor.

So, I wonder how much the preview tool is linked to the lisp basis of 
Emacs, or in principle an editor with macro language, based on C say, 
could do also the job.
