Re: latex2html problems (fwd)
Thanks for answering Parv. I have a Phedora Core 2 system where latex2html works fine. It uses netpbm-9.24 not netpbm-10.24 as FreeBSD does. So... forced FreeBSD to uninstall netpbm-10.24, and then downloaded and compiled netpbm-9.24. It is a little tricky because netpbm does not supports FreeBSD, so I took openbsd option and changed the Makefile.config to fulfill FreeBSD requirements. Once it was installed, latex2html worked fine. Now, I do not know what to think. Either, latex2html is trying to use options that do not work with netpbm-10.24, or netpbm-10.24 does not work properly. g it seems that latex2html requieres an option. if I include the option: -notransparent html2ltex works fine with netpbm-10.24. nevertheless, it displays the formulae with gray background. They look horrible. I think this deserves a report. Thanks for your help. Eduardo.

As i expected, there is a race condition.
By the time ppmquant gets the file input, the file, actually the
/tmp/l2h* directory, has been already removed, resulting in the
above it seems.
Do ktrace -di -f log latex2html file.tex ; kdump -n -f log | less.
Then search for string /tmp/l2h. You will see that directory is
removed well before ppmquant get to do its thing. (Mind that i have
not checked if any of the file handle(s) is retained, or retained
file handle is not closed, before directory removal.)
(In that case, IMO, it would not be a race condition but an
indication of bad design of latex2html.)
pnmtopng was installed by netpbm-10.24... and it seems that
it is being called with a pair of parameters that does not seem to
work.
Yes, see above.
