[Mediawiki-l] Precompiled texvc (for mediawiki math functions)

[beachboy22 at verizon.net]

Ok, I tried this and enabled the "execute" file permission for this file. Now I no longer get the "cannot locate texvc", so I am making progress...

However, I now receive the following error message on a page that contains a math formula:

    Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert): \sqrt{2} \sqrt[n]{x}

Does anyone know what I did wrong or if I need something else?

All I have done so far to enable math support it upload the precompiled texvc file and added the code below to my LocalSettings.php.

Thanks!

Have you tried enabling TeX in your LocalSettings.php? Set the following:

$wgUseTeX = true;
$wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math";
$wgMathDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/math";

Other than that I don't know why your installation wouldn't be finding
texvc. (Unless the UploadPath is wrong...)

I tried that one, but unfortunately it didn't work.

I still receive some sort of "unable to locate texvc" message."

Thanks.

Yeah, you can get it here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34373

In the downloads list, under "Support files" you'll notice the "texvc ...
binaries". Download this and place the "texvc" file (there's only one with
no extension) in your math folder in the wiki installation.

I tried to get one of these on a couple of forums but have had no luck.

Does anyone have one?
My server is Linux,

Thanks.
