Hi,
I'm attaching a mail that I got regarding a bug report I previously
forwarded to this forum. It includes two possible solutions to the
problem. To be consistent with the original latex2html, which one
will be included in the latex2html codebase?
The file to examine in the source distribution is: pstoimg.pin
which should be at version: 1.19 .
Would you please check that version number.
Since pstoimg is derived from pstoimg.pin the fix
should be made there.
Then when you run the installation:
./configure
make
make install
a corrected pstoimg should then result.
The source bundle to obtain is:
http://www.latex2html.org/current/latex2html-2002-2-1.tar.gz
dated 25-Oct-2004 .
Thanks!
bye,
Roland
Package: latex2html
Version: 2002-2-1-10
Followup-For: Bug #132451
with respect to the pstoimg Perl script breaking when the -depth 24 or
-color 24 options were used:
(don't know where the other stuff in this bug report came from)
$reduce_color is only getting set if the depth was "1" or "8".
So the $cmd line was adding an empty pipe step in the case of 24bit.
Solutions:
a) in code that sets up "ppmquant 8" or "ppmquant 256" add a test
for 24-bitness
and set to "ppmquant 16777216"
... but there should be no need to call ppmquant at all
in this case ...
or
b) if 24-bit just skip the ppmquant step. Patch for this solution
follows.

This line cannot be coming from v1.19 of pstoimg.pin .
There the problem has been fixed by changing the first conditional
to be:
if( $reduce_color && (!$type || $type =~ /(ppm|pgm)/i)) {
And this bug has been around since the Potato days!
The CVS log for pstoimg.pin shows that the bug was fixed some
time ago:
revision 1.17
date: 2003/12/31 15:06:21; author: RRM; state: Exp; lines: +7 -4
-- fixed bug stopping -depth 24 from working
thanks to Tino Keitel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the report.
... which is 10 months earlier than the date on the 2002-2-1 archive,
which indeed contains the correct version of pstoimg.pin .
cheers,
Hamish
