I am trying to use latex2html, but something seems to go wrong at
last step of the image conversion.

I made a small test file as suggested in the  troubleshooting section
of the documentation on the web.  I called the file   mytest.tex,
and this is the file:

---------- file below ---------
% mytest.tex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Some text followed by \fbox{some more text in a box}.
\end{document}
---- file above -------

The documentation had "documentstyle" not "documentclass",
so I changed it so that there wouldn't be extraneous error
messages.  (Should the documentation suggest "documentclass"?)

The full output when I run latex2html is given at the end of this message.

I also tried the "do it manually" as suggested in the troubleshooting
section.  Is it possible that the suggestions there are outdated?
It talks about Ghostscript version 3 vs Ghostscript version 2.x,
and the one on my computer is version 5.  The commands I tried
to use seemed to not exist.  The complete run at the end of this message.

Also, I checked images.tex in the created directory.  It looked fine,
latex ran on it with no problem, and the result looked like
I expected.

Also, I looked in /tmp and there weren't any files or directories
with names similar to what latex2html claimed it was creating.

Thank for any help or pointers you can give me.
