??? Some error messages perhaps, or do you suppose us to have paranormal
abilities?

Created an attachment (id=77916) [details]
latex2html on my linux PC fails for any latex file of this type.

The latex2html script on my linux PC fails since I recently (end of December
and beginning of January 2006) updated my system. However, the latex2html
script itself has not been touched in this update:
[konopka@ccms2 test] ls -l /usr/bin/latex2html 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 967 Nov 11 21:30 /usr/bin/latex2html

I get the problem for ANY latex file. See the log messages and my further
comments below.

[konopka@ccms2 tmp] latex2html test
This is LaTeX2HTML Version 2002-2-1 (1.71)

Now I just write what was created by running the command above.
It created subdirectory test and its subdirectory TMP . There are some files in
TMP:

No file created in test/ itself.

You need to reopen bugs when you have provided the requested information,
otherwise noon will probably notice again.
