I suspect it's not working in my openbsd install because apache is
chrooted. How would get texvc to work in that case?
Thanks,

Hey guys,
So I managed to compile texvc on openbsd/sparc64 4.3 inside the
/mediawiki/math/ folder using 'gmake texvc.bc'
I enabled TeX in Localsettings.php and created directories for math
and tmp under /mediawiki/images. However, to my dismay, I get the
error "Failed to parse (unknown error):"
I enabled logging in mediawiki and the output I get during the parsing is:
Unstubbing $wgParser on call of $wgParser->firstCallInit from
MessageCache::transform
TeX: ./math/texvc '/w/uploads/tmp' '/w/uploads/tmp' 'E=mc^2'
'UTF-8'
TeX output:
---
I should some output after TeX output, but nothing instead. I tried
running the command manually and png ended up in my directory, so I
know texvc is working. Someone on RHEL had the same problem and they
found out SELinux was causing the problem, so I figured there's
something in OpenBSD that does a similar action. The math and tmp
folders are chmoded to 777 for now.
Should I change something in Localsettings.php? I literally have no
clue as to what to do next.
Help appreciated,
Vivek
