Works for me. I have no problems with plotting with `typeset='latex'`. And
my (external) dvipng is compiled with jpeg. My Sage's gd is not linked to
jpeg, but the system gd is.
{{{

Starting subshell with Sage environment variables set. Don't forget
to exit when you are done. Beware:
* Do not do anything with other copies of Sage on your system.
* Do not use this for installing Sage packages using "sage -i" or for
running "make" at Sage's root directory. These should be done
outside the Sage shell.
Bypassing shell configuration files...

> 2. None of this works on a bare sage install, the user has to go find
the missing ghostscript, latex, and dvipng dependencies and install them
himself.
We can not expect to package latex with Sage. Latex packages are ''huge''!
We are better off asking the user to install them externally, especially
since they are not an essential component of Sage.
