On what OS are you running your Wiki?
I have a wiki installation on FreeBSD, and just found that while many
expressions work ok, some do not. It looks like texvc is dependent on
having a package called "amsfonts" (
http://www.ams.org) installed, but
FreeBSD (4.10) does not install nor provide this package. I'm trying to
manually install the tarball from
ams.org on my server, but so far, with
no luck.
Maybe you're hitting a similar problem? (I found this by manually
running texvc from the cmd-line, and looking at the .log output file)
cheers,
-Nick

The following commands must be available in the

(PATH environment variable):
latex
dvips
convert
gs
and anything else that they depend on that I might
not know about. In
particular ask that dvips is installed, since you didn't mention that
earlier.
And as I just found out through two hours of pain, GhostScript in certain
versions doesn't work with ImageMagick at all. See this bug report:
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/bug-gs/2002-July/001451.html
I used an older version (8.0 something) and it still didn't work. Only
going back to 7.05 did the trick.
One thing that helps in debugging is to edit render.ml in math/, remove
the "/dev/null" redirections, recompile and test on the commandline
according to the README. Then you should see exactly what goes wrong
where.
texvc is really quite terrible when it comes to error messages.

Erik
