Hi, I tried to install LaTeX2HTML on my Windows XP, but could not work it out.
I downloaded latex2html-2002-1.tar.gz from CTAN and unzip it to C:\Download\latex2html-2002-1. I looked up on the mailing list archive and I followed the instructions on http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2h.htm because I also use MiK-TeX and the MiK-TeX has worked well so far before I tried to install LaTeX2HTML. So I installed Perl and Netpbm, and edited prefs.pm as suggested. Maybe the problem is that I installed Mik-TeX under Program File directory and config.bat seemed to have trouble to get the version number of dvips (which is 5.86). It says unknown version number. I manually add it in config/config.pl in the DVIPS session: my $version = '5.86'; I re-ran config.bat and this seemed to be fixed. I got same information in the log file as in the above instruction, except a few more lines with warning message: checking for ppmtojpeg... no Warning: You cannot directly translate/modify graphics of format. checking for pnmcut... \texfiles\netpbm\bin\pnmcut.exe checking for pnmpad... \texfiles\netpbm\bin\pnmpad.exe checking for pnmrotate... \texfiles\netpbm\bin\pnmrotate.exe checking for pnmscale... \texfiles\netpbm\bin\pnmscale.exe checking for giftopnm... \texfiles\netpbm\bin\giftopnm.exe checking for jpegtopnm... \texfiles\netpbm\bin\jpegtopnm.exe checking for pngtopnm...

First of all I never ran test.bat correctly. The main problem is that images cannot be created. I checked the subdirectory of l2htest/; there was only images.tex, no images.log created by latex. I ran images.tex by command latex manually, created images.log and re-ran latex2html. Now the problem was more clear: there were no images created--CSS style with those NEXT/CONTENT icons appeared, but no equations and images. I looked up the manual and tried my best to look for the images everywhere possible, but found nothing. I just tried the next step for curiosity, since I had no way to successfully ran test.bat. I installed LaTeX2HTML, added latex2html.bat to $PATH, moved files under TEXTINPUT/ and edited l2hconf.pm. However, I still could only correctly ran latex2html in the installed directory and the unzipped temporary directory. If I ran it anywhere else, I got the error message: texexpand V2002-1 (Revision 1.11) texexpand: Error: More than one input file specified. texexpand failed: No such file or directory Did I forget to configure something above? Or I couldn't run latex2html under other directories such as My Document? Were all these problems caused by manually adding the version number of dvips?
