Hi Ross,
thanks for your thoughts.
I solved the problem (packaging latex2html for Debian) by adding correct
IMAGE_TYPE(S) settings at build-time (without already having latex2html
installed).

Hi,
building the Latex2HTML manual, I get:
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/buildd/latex2html-2008/docs'
../latex2html -test_mode -no_math -html_version 4.0,math,frame
-accent_images textrm -scalable_fonts -short_index -split 4 -link 5
-no_auto_link -t "LaTeX2HTML" manual.tex;
$* is no longer supported at ../latex2html line 10591.
That looks like the kind of message that would be produced
by a later version of Perl operating on coding written
for an earlier version.
It should be easy to fix, once you know what it is that
has changed. A Perl 4 manual should explain what kind
of data or property $* was referring to.
However, I'd expect that there are many instances of this
that will need to be similarly updated.
Note: Loading ./.latex2html-init
Error: No such image type ''.
Not sure why this would happen.
It might be a consequence of the earlier error,
or it may be something different.
The image-type array is meant to be an array of
image-format suffixes; e.g. 'gif', 'png', 'jpg'.
What is supported depends upon the availability of
Netpbm conversion modules; ppmtogif, pnmtopng, etc.
Maybe you don't have Netpbm installed ?
This whole aspect needs updating, as there are alternative
image-generation techniques that could be supported instead.
Sorry, I don't have the time available to do this.
This installation supports (first is default):
make[2]: *** [fresh] Error 255
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/latex2html-2008/docs'
make[1]: *** [manual.html] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/latex2html-2008/docs'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
Did this problem occur previously somewhere?
Hope this helps,
Ross
Thanks in advance,
Roland
