This is a repeat of two of my postings, only now in a plain-text format,
following the advice of someone apparently on the LaTeX2HTML e-mailing list.
Trying to obtain the plain-text format in a Hotmail, e-mail account, I
failed in one Web browser, but succeeded in Internet Explorer 6; sorry for
any difficulties I may have caused anyone by my not using plain text in my
previous postings.
Hello. With LaTeX2HTML 2002 and Netpbm 10.25-2 I had some unwanted, black
borders around some Portable/Public-Network-Graphics (PNG) image files
containing mathematical expressions. But I noticed that I am not using the
latest version of LaTeX2HTML. So I am hoping that the problem I faced
could be solved by upgrading to the latest version of LaTeX2HTML in
December of the year 2005, which I think is LaTeX2HTML 2002-2-1, right?
Perhaps also upgrading "netpbm-progs" and the RedHat-Package-Manager (.rpm)
files to version 10.28-1, with what they require, from version 10.25-2
might also be good to try as well. If these things don't eliminate the
black borders, then I would be hoping that changes like at
http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/latex2html/2001-March/001039.html would
eliminate them; on the other hand, changes like the ones outlined in that
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) might have already been implemented in
LaTeX2HTML 2002-2-1, which is a guess of mine which may or may not be
correct.
In Fedora, Core-3 Linux with Netpbm 10.25-2 I could not uninstall
"netpbm-progs" via clicking the Red Hat and then selecting "Add/Remove
Applications," etc.; I think I am supposed to first uninstall LaTeX2HTML
2002, which uses Netbpm. Then presumably netbpm-progs and Netbpm
10.25-2 could be uninstalled and replaced and/or upgraded with more recent
versions of them. So the main question here is how does one uninstall
LaTeX2HTML 2002? I see that this process must involve more than just
deleting the directory ../latex2html-2002 because, for example, the
LaTeX2HTML-related pstoimg files are in my directories /usr/bin and
/usr/local/bin. Since "make install," where the "make" is probably the
GNU "make," might have been what put the pstoimg file(s) in those
directories, I imagined a command like "make uninstall" might remove them
from those directories; however, ../latex2html-2002/Makefile does not have
the word "uninstall" in it.
After uninstalling LaTeX2HTML 2002, "netpbm-progs," and Netbpm 10.25-2, I
presume that if a netpbm-progs, version-10.28-1 installation file can be
found, then first netpbm-progs 10.28-1, the .rpm files for Netpbm 10.25-2,
which is required by the .rpm file for Netpbm 10.28-1, and Netpbm
10.28-1 could all be installed (Perhaps "netpbm-progs" will turn out to be
available in a .rpm form as well. It is my impression that Netpbm
10.28-1 and Netpbm 10.25-2 are different from "netpbm progs."). Then if
all of that is successful, I suppose that the installation of LaTeX2HTML
2002-2-1 would probably be very similar to what I went through to install
LaTeX2HTML 2002 onto my computer's hard drive.
Alternatively is it also possible to upgrade LaTeX2HTML without first
uninstalling the older version of it? If so, how is that done? For
example, do old versions of files of the same names get overwritten in
all cases when trying to install a new version over an existing version of
LaTeX2HTML? Thanks in advance for your help.

Pat's follow-up posting:
I have been using LaTeX2HTML 2002, "netbpm-progs," and Netpbm 10.25-2 in a
Fedora, Core-3-Linux operating system. My downloaded, LaTeX2HTML file
was the latex2html-2002.tar.gz, installation file obtained by clicking on
hyperlinks within the Web site http://www.latex2html.org/. After
installation from within the file .../latex2html-2002/config.log I noticed
that executable files would be or were installed in the directory
/usr/local/bin and library items would be or were installed in the
directory /usr/local/share/lib/latex2html. I found those directories on
my computer and decided that their contents appeared to be 100-percent of
LaTeX2HTML content. So a way I can see to go about completely uninstaling
the program LaTeX2HTML 2002 that I installed from the downloaded file
latex2html-2002.tar.gz would be to delete all of the files that were
installed in that LaTeX2HTML installation. Up to now, as far as I
know, this includes only the directories ../latex2html-2002,
/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/share/lib/latex2html, and the pstoimg file in
the directory /usr/bin. I did not make any LaTeX2HTML-related changes
among my Fedora, Core-3-Linux environment variables. Is there any other
LaTeX2HTML directory or file that would have to be deleted in order to
completely uninstall LaTeX2HTML 2002 from my computer? In other words, am
I missing some other files and/or directories that could have been formed
or copied to my computer as a result of the commands "./config," "make,"
"make check," "make test," and "make install?" Naturally deleting the
directory ../latex2html-2002 would also delete all of its subdirectories
and their contents, which I guess would include all of the files generated
by the command "make test." Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.
