Hi All, 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"

a) I have set up an images directory in /tmp/persistent/myproject, which is server writable b) I have created two subdirectories tmp and math under that, which are also server writable c) I have enabled tex=true in localsettings.php. d) I have corrected the $wgMathPath, $wgTmpDirectory and $wgMathDirectory in localsettings.php e) Since SF doesn't have Ocaml, I uploaded the binary from the mediawiki sourceforge page to /wiki/math/, and chmod a+x it. f) I go into the wiki and try to create an equation - however it doesn't render - I get a "Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert)" error.

g) I fire up Cygwin (I'm on a windows box) and go to /tmp/persistent/myproject/images/tmp/ and find a tex file there. I run the command latex *.tex and it produces a .dvi file. I can also dvips the file and can subsequently convert it. It seems not to be a problem with the support programs

h) Thinking that it might be a problem with the texvc binary I go back to /myproject/htdocs/wiki/ and try to run the texvc binary from the command line, typing: texvc from the bash prompt (I'm a linux newbie), no joy. I then try typing sh texvc from the bash prompt, no joy again. All I get is texvc: command not found. I tried entering the command from the readme file in the texvc file, no joy. (I did do chmod a+x texvc). I tried copying the texvc binary to tmp/persistent/myproject directory to see if it would run, no but it didn't

i) I can't make a new binary, as there is no OCaml on the SF shell server (which runs Fedora 2), and I don't have access to a linux box.

Sorry for the length of the mail, I just wanted to describe the problem fully. Does anyone have any suggestions, I'm stumped. cheers, Andy
