Hi, I tried to install LaTeX2HTML on Windows XP.
After I did what I could do, I could only get html files within the directory of installed latex2html; when I ran latex2html in other directories, I only got a directory with an empty subdirectory TMP and nothing else. Even for those html files, some texts cannot be properly displayed and some tags like <#460#> appear. Below is how I installed the LaTeX2HTML. I downloaded latex2html-2002-1.tar.gz from CTAN and unzip it to C:\Download\latex2html-2002-1. Because I feel the README and INSTALL are a little bit hard to follow and I am using MiK-TeX, I used the instructions on http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2h.htm. I believe I exactly followed the instructions and change the $path environment variable, except changing the some paths according to my original setting of MiK-TeX. The problem is when I tried the test.bat, there is no pstoimg.bat to check. I put the results of configuration below: Starting Configuration... config.pl, Release 2002-1 (Revision 1.46) Accompanies LaTeX2HTML, (C) 1999 GNU Public License. checking for old config file (cfgcache.pm)... not found (ok) checking for platform...

There are also several other error messages regarding to gswin32c (which is executable by double click the icon) and the version of dvips (which is "This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)"). Why the config.bat cannot recognize them and how do I fix these problems? Thanks. - Daniel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
