[Mediawiki-l] Math formating

[Emma Gottesman]

I'm still having problems getting math formatting to work on my wiki.  I 
get:
*Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation 
of latex, dvips, gs, and convert): x = x + 78*

Running on Solaris 10, wiki installed in /var/apache2/htdocs/wiki. ocaml 
installed, TeTeX installed, gs installed, ImageMagick installed
dvips, convert, latex, gs all in /usr/local/bin
Have

putenv("MAGICK_HOME=/usr/local/ImageMagick-6.2.1/:" 
        . getenv("MAGICK_HOME"));
putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ImageMagick-6.2.1/lib:" 
        . getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"));

near the top of my localSettings (thanks Kate).

When I run the ImageMagick test I from the command line as root or as a 
user I get the ImageMagick test image displayed.
I can run the latex config OK.  The make for texvc didn't produce any 
errors and I've done a make clean, make cycle each time I've changed 
something just to make sure.  When I try and run the texvc command line 
test in the math README I get:

/images/tmp is read-writeable by all but there wasn't any output in it.

Once again, help?

By the way, thanks to all for the help with the sysop issue.  A local IT 
here did the initial install of the wiki for me but couldn't remember if 
he'd set up a sysop.  I rooted around in the SQL database and found 
WikiSysop, with the same password as root, so I now have a working sysop.
