Example:
(easy-menu-define preview-menu LaTeX-mode-map
"This is the menu for preview-latex."
'("Preview"
"Generate previews"
["(or toggle) at point" preview-at-point]
["for environment" preview-environment]
["for section" preview-section]
["for region" preview-region (preview-mark-active)]
["for buffer" preview-buffer]
["for document" preview-document]
"---"
"Remove previews"
["at point" preview-clearout-at-point]
["from section" preview-clearout-section]
["from region" preview-clearout (preview-mark-active)]
["from buffer" preview-clearout-buffer]
["from document" preview-clearout-document]
"---"
"Turn preamble cache"
["on" preview-cache-preamble]
["off" preview-cache-preamble-off]
"---"
("Customize"
["Browse options"
(customize-group 'preview)]
["Extend this menu"
(easy-menu-add-item
nil '("Preview")
(customize-menu-create 'preview))])
["Read documentation" preview-goto-info-page]
["Report Bug" preview-report-bug]))
And then use
(easy-menu-add preview-menu LaTeX-mode-map)
when you are initializing the mode. While this does nothing in Emacs,
it will add the menu to the menubar when you are using XEmacs. The
easy-menu interface works for both Emacsen.

This sounds like your Emacs installation is terribly broken. If you
are lucky, you just have something very bad in your .emacs (like
(setq load-path '("my-personal-directory"))
which would replace the system load-path).
If this error message persists even if you start Emacs with
emacs -q
M-x debug RET
then you might need to reinstall Emacs. If it goes away in that case,
you have to find what causes the problem in your .emacs.
