This is a followup on my reported problems.
It includes very dirty workarounds which fixed the problem
for me and in the moment being. Some more details for proper
debugging are included. (Would have helped if I knew perl better.)
Image creation, writing of *images.tex:
In latex2html:
The more global variable $preamble in sub make_latex
already contains the offending line, when it is called from
sub make_image_file.
So just replacing the '<' character with an TeX commentchar '%'
in $preamble is the dirty fix.
Adding line
$preamble =~ s/^</%/m; # replace '<' as first char on a line with '%'
after
$preamble =~ s/\\par([^A-Za-z]|$)/\n$1/g;
in sub make_latex{ (about line 6698)
See the attached patch.
natbib bombing:
The offending lines start at 842 in styles/natbib.perl
and they seems to deal with not redefining sub do_real_harvarditem.
I commented them out. (See the attached patch)
The problem here seems to be that perl on Solaris is using "sh"
as command default interpreter for exec. This is really a borne shell!
(And not a bash as some Linux people tend to forget. ;-> )
Kind Regards,
Bernhard Reiter
