[Mediawiki-l] WikiTex: Xymtex install

Hello; I've been attempting to install the xymtex package for  
WikiTex. I uploaded the entire 17 megabyte package to my webspace,  
then I pasted an example from Wikisophia into a new page:
> <chem>\octamethylene{4==S;5==S}{1W==HO;1D==O;8D==O;8W==OH;2SB==H; 
> 7SA==H;2SA==NH$_2$;7SB==NH$_2$}</chem>

The following error was returned:
> This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)

I've been trying to fix this all evening. I've been messing with the  
wikitex.chem.inc.tex file.
Also of note, the xymtex directory is within wikitex directory.  
That's why I used "xymtex/xymtex.sty".

Any thoughts are appreciated.
