If you are using an Ubuntu web server (as we do) for the SenseClusters
web interface, you will need to be a little careful when setting up
latex. The programs that generate the pdf plots that show clustering
criterion functions against number of clusters are created using
gnuplot, ps2pdf, and latex. If you just install latex on Ubuntu, you
will not get the fullpage.sty file, which is used in creating these
plots. This leads to a "silent failure" in the web interface, where
blank pdf files are created for those plots.

To avoid this, you should make sure to install an extra package which
will include fullpage.sty. You need to install the following:

sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base

sudo apt-get install tetex-extra

In fact, I just noticed that our web server wasn't set up properly
early this summer, so this has now been corrected. I'll add a note
about this to the install instructions whenever we have a new release.

Please let me know of any questions or concerns!

Cordially,
Ted
