I did a test install of MediaWiki. Everything seems to work OK, except that I can't get math support to work. I have texvc installed in my testwiki/math, but any attempt to use math mode complains 鎻奱iled to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert): a = b/c? <br /><br />Documentation at <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/math/README?rev=1.5" target="_blank">http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wiki.../README?rev=1.5</a> says "Rasterization is done via LaTeX, dvips, and ImageMagick. These need to be installed and in the PATH: latex, dvips, convert."<br /><br />Does there need to be some more software installed server-side?<!--content-->
You might want to open a Help Desk ticket and ask one of the tech people.<br /><br />ImageMagick is installed.<!--content-->
If you don't mind my asking, or if anyone else is in the same boat, has anyone found a solution to getting math to work with MediaWiki? I'm trying to do the same thing, and would appreciate any advice. I've opened a support ticket, but would still like to know of others' experiences.<br /><br />Norm Krumpe<!--content-->
