When I run latex2html on a TeX document it produces
documents with nearly no content: just the links and
all are labeled "No Title." This even happens on
the example that comes with the distrubution.
I am running RedHat 5.2
LaTeX/TeX: (Web2C 7.2) 3.14159 [LaTeX2e]
latex2html: 98.1p1 release
Perl: version 5.005_02 built for i386-linux-thread
There were no problems with configuration of latex2html
(no error messages, all paths correct). There are no
error messages while latex2html runs.
I have now seen this problem posted several times. I searched both the
archives and what is available at www.dejanews.com. Almost always
there is no response. In the archive for this list I have seen a
couple of similar complaints that seem to be tied to Perl being
compiled with threads enabled. If this is the case isn't this a bug
with latex2html and should a bug report be sent?
I have not downloaded the source and recompiled Perl myself so I am
not sure if this will fix it. If this is the problem whith latex2html,
I would like to avoid hobbling perl a bit to get latex2html running or
keeping two copies of perl.
1) Is there an "official" answer to this FAQ:
"latex2html produces skeleton documents, what do I do?"
2) Is latex2html incompatible with Perl with threads enabled?
3) If "2)", is there a work around without recompiling perl, for
example are there any switches or way of turning off threads in perl
at runtime? If this problem is due to latex2html forking off processes
that are running in parallel instead of sequentially (thus .. perhaps
... looking at empty documents), is it possible to modify the script
so that it does not do this.
thanks,
michael
