Greetings !
These days I try to install Latex2HTML on a Win 95 machine but it doesn't work.
(Win95, Miktex 2.1 (dvips 5.86), Gs 7.03, GNU Netpbm 10.1, Perl 5.6.1; their
bin-directories are in
DOS search-path.via autoexec.bat; None of the bin-directories has a dot somewhere in
its path.
Everything is on the same Drive. (C: ) )
After extracting latex2html-2002-1.tar.gz to a temporary directory (also in C: and
without a dot in path-
name), and modifying prefs.pm line 136 to $prefs{'PREFIX'} =
'C:\\PROGRAMME\\EDITORS\\L2H';
and running config.bat, everything sems to be alright. There are no Error-Messages.
But when I try to run test.bat (- after the checkings, the window-title changes to
"perl", that means that
latex2html.bat which is called by test.bat is running some perlscript -) many errors
occur:
The first error-message comes from DOS (in German: Befehl oder Dateiname nicht
gefunden = Command
or Filename not found) as the perl-part in latex2html.bat which is called by test bat
or probably the Perl-part
in pstoimage.bat which is called by latex2html or something else obviously passes a
wrong command-line to
DOS. Many
errors follow.
This happens right after the screen-output of dvips:
Generating postscript images using dvips
This is dvips
.... <many option-stuff> ... <-the ps-file exists/comes into being in
subdirectory: C:\Windows\temp\l2h876551\image001.ps
Converting image #1
Befehl oder Dateiname nicht gefunden <-After! outputting this DOS Error-Message, the
ps-file gets deleted/doesn't
exist any longer.
PSTOIMG.BAT: Error: Couldn't find pnm output of C:\Windows\temp\l2h876551\image001.ps
ERROR Cannot read img1.png. No such file or directory.
(The same - of course happens to image 2)
I am not familiar with perl at all, nevertheless - as there are many mails in the
archive with the same problem but no satisfying answer - I am supposed to try to help
myself.
I suppose that the DOS-command which is not found, is called either by latex2html.bat
or by pstoimg.bat .
Therefore I need to know the following:
- What does a Perl-Command which calls a DOS-Command for execution generally look like
?
- Is it correct, that test.bat calls latex2html.bat, latex2html.bat runs itself on
perl and within perl calls the perl-part
of pstoimage.bat for image-conversion ?
- In which sub-files of pstoimg.bat or latex2html.bat are the calls for Ghostscript ?
- What name does the perl-variable have that points to the GhostScript-Directory ?
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely
Ulrich Diez
