bug#37915: 12.1.2; preview on circ.tex not rendering equations

[Sivaram Neelakantan]

While I'm able to compile latex files and generate PDFs, the preview
of equations don't seem to be working.  I copied over the default
circ.tex file and it doesn't show the equations.  I checked SO for
various errors and coudnt find the reason why it doesn't generate
images.
