I am not sure why it has been set for each converter as a dependency since it does not seem to be used by any of the conversion chains.

Hi Nicolas, Do you mean that "gs" could be removed from all entries in `org-preview-latex-process-alist'? I'm Cc'ing Feng Shu, who implemented the new LaTeX preview mechanism. He hopefully knows why this dependency was introduced in the first place. I think so yes, at least on Windows (didn't try on Linux nor OSX) Thanks, Fred

Do you mean that "gs" could be removed from all entries in
`org-preview-latex-process-alist'?
I'm Cc'ing Feng Shu, who implemented the new LaTeX preview mechanism. He
hopefully knows why this dependency was introduced in the first place.

Hi again,
There is one thing I forgot to mention: PDF/LateX export was working fine.
Thanks,
Fred
Hi,
I am a Windows user and I am testing the Org 9.x branch. I just
discovered that I couldn't display inline latex anymore using C-c C-x
C-l. I was getting that error:
org-create-formula-image: Can’t find ‘gs’ (you need to install the
programs: latex, dvipng and ghostscript.)
A look at orl.el line #4079: "(defcustom
org-preview-latex-process-alist", for "dvipng" we have a programs
list: "("latex" "dvipng" "gs")"
The problem here is that "gs" is not an executable that exists in
Ghostscript for Windows nor I think it is necessary for that to work.
I did remove it from the list of required parameters, then I restarted
Emacs and everything is working fine now.
Any thoughts on that? Should it be fixed? (I guess)
Thanks,
Fred

Hi,

C-l. I was getting that error:
org-create-formula-image: Can’t find ‘gs’ (you need to install the

A look at orl.el line #4079: "(defcustom

The problem here is that "gs" is not an executable that exists in
