I have a project on Sourceforge that has a mediawiki
(1.6.8), which is
working well.
I want to enable Math support for latex equations. It doesn't work,
and I've read all the "it doesn't work pages"
Sourceforge does not allow the webserver to create images on the fly.
I had a similar problem and ended up using mimetex: see
