Not much time to clean this up, but here are some notes I jotted down
about problems with 98.2b6... please let me know if more info is
needed or anything is unclear...
Explicit setting of perl path
-----------------------------
latex2html.config in 98.2b6 says this at top:
# Setting this variable to where your perl executable resides can lead to
# better performance on some platforms.
#
# It is advisable to do this on an Intel system; e.g.
# $PERL='g:/usr/bin/perl_.exe';
#
# On a unix system it may be best left empty, or set as in:
# $PERL='/usr/local/bin/perl';
but it fails on both NT and Unix. When I set
$PERL='d:/Perl/5.005/bin/MSWin32-x86-object/perl.exe';
on NT and run install-test I get:
Perl version 5.005 is OK.
Error: Could not find d:/Perl/5.005/bin/MSWin32-x86-object/perl perl
d:/local/latex2html/texexpand perl script.
*** ERROR: Will not be able to run latex2html: Cannot find texexpand.
If I go into install-test and print out $what at line 306 it has the value:
d:/Perl/5.005/bin/MSWin32-x86-object/perl perl d:/local/latex2html/texexpand
which is clearly wrong. But I'm not sure what that section of code is
trying to do.
Similar things happen on Unix, i.e. I set it to
$PERL='/usr/net/bin/perl';
and see
Perl version 5.003 is OK.
Error: Could not find /usr/net/bin/perl /users/turner/Tools/latex2html/texexpand perl
script.
Inputs problem
--------------
Still having problems with \input files not being found. Though they are
found by latex, have to use an explicit path for them to be found by l2h.
Saw the $Web2C comment in latex2html.config and tried setting it to 1, but
that was worse. Let me know what info would help find this.
