You need TeX packages on your server, but you also need texvc, which is included in one of the MediaWiki plugin directories as a source distribution. It didn't compile cleanly for me (at Dreamhost - their server setup is a little weird sometimes), so I tried downloading this precompiled Linux/x86 binary: http://download.wikimedia.org/texvc-linux-x86-20040107.tar.gz ...uncompressed into the correct folder, it worked first time.
I can't remember where I came across it, but search around for 'texvc' and you'll find copious notes.
