dex-tex/latex2html fails to create (png) images from math formula's in \LaTeX. For example: $a = 2$ I have a fix, see Additional Information. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Call latex2html on a .tex file that contains math formulas 2. Math formula images are not produced. Actual Results: Image is not produced Expected Results: Image is produced correctly This was all tested on ARM, Sheevaplug Developers edition. But I think it also applies to other architectures. Fix is quite simple. I ran latex2html with -debug, and it printed this error: ------------- pnmtopng: can't open color names dictionary file named /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt, /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt, or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt and Environment variable RGBDEF not set. Set RGBDEF to the pathname of your rgb.txt file or don't use color names. ------------- I located rgb.tex, and used ``export'' to temporarily set RGBDEF to the right path; (export RGBDEF="/usr/lib/latex2html/styles/rgb.txt") This fixed the issue. But only temporarily ofcourse. On another note, I have no X installed, so this may also be the source of the problem, as their debug message suggests, it only searches in X11 folders. $ locate rgb.txt /usr/lib/latex2html/styles/rgb.txt /usr/share/netpbm/rgb.txt So I have found a workaround/fix, but I don't know what the best way would be to apply it.
nothing to do with latex2html; pnmtopng belongs to netbpm could you please check this still happens with latest netpbm?
x11-apps/rgb provides this file, and it doesn't depend on X11, only x11-proto/xproto package which is basically just headers perhaps netpbm should simply depend on x11-apps/rgb ?
media-libs/netpbm-10.49.00 (/usr/share/netpbm/rgb.txt) and in netpbm sources: pm_config.in.h:"/usr/share/netpbm/rgb.txt:" \ and tested pngtopnm & pnmtopng -> works great
