I have taken out the -ldump option from the command line in my makefile. Images are now produced.
Aaah; that's interesting.
I'm not sure why this worked just fine with previous versions of latex.
Probably the commands that ldump.sty uses to create the specialised format file need to be changed for the later version of teTeX, or maybe it's a question of where the .fmt file is placed.
Well, we are getting closer. First of all I can confirm that all works (mostly) fine if the -ldump option is NOT used. So, that should eliminate the guessing about directory permissions, etc. The images are created and placed in the correct places. However, when I use -ldump I get the following printed to the screen:
<START>
Writing image file ...

<END>
Also, there is no file "images.fmt" created.
Here is the actual command line extracted from the Makefile:
latex2html -split +1 -dir html -no_math -no_footnode -local_icons \
-ldump -up_url ../mma.html -up_title "Main MMA
Reference" \
$(TARG).texUnder the previous system the .fmt file was created in the html directory. The permissions for that dir are:
drwxrwxr-x 2 bob bob 8192 Apr 24 16:12 html/
So, that should be okay.
Maybe some tex-pert can figure out the "I'm stymied" message above :)
Are you re-using an old document, and trying to use a previously \dump'd format ? That will certainly fail with a different TeX engine running LaTeX.
Yes, this is an existing document. But, I have cleaned out all the existing log files, etc. No differences.
Or maybe the variable in texmf.cnf isn't allowing the working directory to be searched for formats.
I just checked the texmf stuff and the various html files show in the ls-R file in my main texmf tree. So, that seems to be fine.
Now, a second problem. Which may be related ... so I'm not starting a new thread. No matter what I do, none of my images are created as transparent. These are all images created from postscript files. They are black and white music notation snippets. The conversions insist on created a grey background with black notes/lines.
I've looked at the docs, etc. but don't see anything to control that. It should just happen, shouldn't it?
