Hello FreeBSD gurus!
I have a question for you.

I have installed FreeBS 5.2.1-RELEASEp9  in my computer.
I also upgraded my ports, compiled and installed the following
ports:

latex2html-2002.2.1_3 Convert LaTeX documents to HTML
teTeX-2.0.2_2         Thomas Esser's distribution of TeX & friends

latex2html seems to work fine but it does not process formulas.
Perhaps this example is a little too large, but...


Example:

---test.tex------
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
     $\sin(x)$
\end{document}
---end of test.tex----

Michelle:/home/mrspock/tex> latex2html test

--- it was properly processed but,  at the end:  ---

 *** processing 1 images ***

Generating postscript images using dvips ...

Converting image #1

Error while converting image

Doing section links ......
Done.

--------

Now, "pstoimg" is a function in /usr/local/bin that was installed by
latex2html.

"pnmtopng"  was installed by "netpbm-10.24"... and it seems that it
is being called with a pair of parameters that does not seem to work.


Does anybody know if there is a solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

	Eduardo.
