[Mediawiki-l] <math> fails with "PNG conversion failed"

[Rob Desbois]

I'm running MediaWiki 1.6.5, didn't have the math stuff installed orginally, but want to use <math> now.
I've installed all of the required components, and everything seems to work well from the command-line:

[root at batcave mediawiki]# sudo -u apache ./math/texvc /var/www/html/mediawiki/images/tmp /var/www/html/mediawiki/images/tmp "y=x+2" UTF-8
/root/.dvipsrc: Permission denied
/root/.dvipsrc: Permission denied

The filename given appears in ./images/tmp with no problems there.
On the Wiki itself I get the error "Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert): ax^2 + bx + c = 0\,"

Could the permission faults given be an issue?
If not, what could be the problem here?
