I got it working doing the following: Installed Pierre's netpbm from ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/V1.1/netpbm-10.15-cygwin-1.3-bin.tar.gz following the instructions in the associated readme file in the same directory. Downloaded and tar xvfz'd latex2html from http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/current/latex2html-2002-2-1.tar.gz Applied this patch: --- L2hos.pm.orig 2002-11-29 03:48:59.000000000 -0800 +++ L2hos.pm 2004-12-17 00:31:29.636116800 -0800 @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ } elsif ($OS eq 'MacOS') { require L2hos::Mac; 'L2hos::Mac' - } elsif ($OS eq 'darwin') { + } elsif ($OS eq 'darwin' || $OS eq 'cygwin') { require L2hos::Unix; 'L2hos::Unix' } elsif ($OS eq 'MSWin32') { so it wouldn't think this was dos :( ./configure make make install Then tried: latex2html /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/small2e.tex and it worked fine. I can't help but think something is messed up in your perl installation; did reinstalling help? are you sure perl is finding /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/perl is the cygwin 5.8.5 perl?
