It's fine to just install dvipng using your package manager, e.g., apt-get install dvipng. Fortunately, in this particular case it's not at all necessary that you install the sage optional package! As long as dvipng is installed somewhere in the path it will work fine. > > checking for kpse_set_progname in -lkpathsea... no > configure: error: cannot find/use libkpathsea > Error configuring dvipng. > > real 0m2.757s > user 0m0.576s > sys 0m2.156s > sage: An error occurred while installing dvipng-1.8 > Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > explaining the problem and send the relevant part of > of /usr/local/sage/install.log.

Perhaps the library references were affected Cool. That's good to know. I need to upgrade the vmware image that I distribute.
