stroxis Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I get an error when trying to access the script (http://maths.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi). What it does is basically transforms LaTeX input into images without the requirement of LaTeX binaries to be present on the server. This is a pre-compiled i386 Linux version which I downloaded from their site (http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html). For those who don't know what LaTeX is: LaTeX is a document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting program. It is very handy for displaying scientifical formulae and data. I wondered if there is any way to fix this or even better - if you have real LaTeX installed on the server. Thank you in advance.

ShannenName Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Can you post the contents of the script so I can see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroxis Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 You need the source code? It consists of several files written in C (http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip - source code) Compilation command: cc -DAA mimetex.c gifsave.c -lm -o mimetex.cgi Example input: ht_p://domain.com/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi? x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} The output should be an image containing the proper mathematical display of the formula: http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/cgi-bin/m...t{b^2-4ac}}{2a} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
