Requirements
This mod relies on your server having available the following external programs. They are pretty standard in most linux distributions, so hosts can install them easily (if they want to, some don't). Please, check your server meets this requirements (or ask your host to install the programs) before trying to use vLaTeX:
- latex: the LaTeX compiler. Check the TeXlive distribution (http://www.tug.org/texlive/).
- dvips: converts the DVI file to PS. Usually included in all latex distributions.
- convert: as it name suggests, converts between a large number of graphic files. Belongs to the ImageMagick package. Needs ghostscript.
- identify: among other things, measures the size of image files. Also belongs to ImageMagick
- Ghostscript: PostScript and PDF language interpreter and previewer. Is called by convert in order to handle ps files.
can u be more specific what kind of scripts they have to install , because hostgator admins are givin me hard time on this.
