[Mediawiki-l] a few issues

[Brinkle, Jason]

Yes, I totally skipped over the math/ directory.  I went ahead and
downloaded Ocaml, compiled it (set some time aside for doing that - it took
a while), then compiled texvc from the math/ directory.  For some reason, it
didn't seem to take right away - maybe my page was cached - but I just
checked it again and it's displaying math!  Just tried another on a new page
and it works great!

Thanks for your help!

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.
