About an i-Package for latex2html:
Ross said he asked you a year ago ;-) I second that motion. It will make my transition in June/July to OS X a lot smoother.
I just had another request for it today. So, let's see.
I looked on my system and it seems I made an attempt a while back (and just now with latex2html-2002-2 which is the latest version). I just looked at it again and I know now why I gave up then: the configuration/install is rather broken, that is, fine for a single user, not very fine for someone trying to create a redistribution (e.g. it wants to use my personal texmf directory, it is confused about a different destination directory, etc, etc. I think I gave up then. I am also put off by ChangeLog files that end in 1998 etc. Running mktexlsr (which is fine for installing form source, but useless when installing for redistribution)
Here is what I do and should work:
67 0:55 make distclean
68 0:55 ./configure --with-texpath=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex
69 0:55 make
70 0:55 make DESTDIR=/usr/local/Build/latex2html install
Info: Installed /usr/local/Build/latex2html/usr/local/lib/latex2html/versions/utf8.pl
Note: trying to install LaTeX2HTML style files in TeX directory tree
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex)
Error: Could not create directory "/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex": Permission denied
Error: Cannot install LaTeX2HTML style files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex
Done. Have a lot of fun with LaTeX2HTML!
For [EMAIL PROTECTED]: After looking some more, the install.pl is broken because it does not take DESTDIR into account when creating TEXPATH. DESTDIR is used in the install_file procedure only.
