Hi Johan,
The ``latex_preamble`` has been deprecated - see here:
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/latest/config.html#confval-latex_preamble
As recommended in the docs, you should rather use a ``latex_elements``
dictionary.
For example, my documentation uses this idea in ``conf.py``
_PREAMBLE = r"""
\usepackage{amsmath}
"""
latex_elements = {
'preamble': _PREAMBLE,
# other settings go here
}
Please try that and see if it works better.
By the way, the sphinx.sty file imports "amsmath" already, so you can
leave that one out.
