[Mediawiki-l] Running a mediawiki at SF: problem with texvc

[Peter Doerfler]

Hi all.

I've got a mediawiki running for a project at sourceforge. Since the project 
is technical in nature we need math stuff. I got the binary for texvc from 
mediawiki at SF (can't compile it myself at SF) and put it in the ./math/ 
directory. I also created the math and tmp directories needed. 

When I execute texvc in the shell it works fine. I even tried the command and 
arguments printed as debug message by Math.php and it works fine. Done this 
way the formula is correctly displayed in the wiki page. However, when texvc 
is called by Math.php only the .tex file is created and creation of the .png 
fails. There is an example at 
[http://ltilib.sourceforge.net/mediawiki-1.3.7/index.php/Convolution].

Has anybody seen behaviour like this before? Any ideas? Thanks for your help,
Peter
