Thanks a lot. After re-installed MikTeX in another directory with short name, I made one more step: config.bat could read the version of dvips. However, the images still didn't show up. Because of the default setting of the platform, the default value of $TMP in l2hconf.pm is C:\\DOCUME~1\\DANIEL~1\\Temp, which still contains long directory name. So I changed it to C:\\tmp\L2Himg (BTW, I also changed the default image type to gif; default png didn't work either) and ran it in debug mode. I could find that img001.ps and img002.ps were in the temporary directory along with two p*.pnm files and two p*.t00 files. test -debug showed that pnmcrop.exe wanted p*.t01 for image conversion. How do I fix this? My Ghostscript version is 7.03 and Netpbm version is 10.6. Thanks. - Daniel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
