Public bug reported: I'm running Kubuntu Raring, with versions as below: texlive-base: 2012.20120611-5 dvipng: 1.14-1build1
I have this simple document foo.tex: \documentclass[16pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{breqn} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} $ \infty $ \end{document} I do latex foo.tex and I get the .dvi files with no problems. Then I do: dvipng -T tight -D 150 -bg Transparent -fg Blue -O 0cm,0cm foo.png foo.dvi I get this: This is dvipng 1.14 Copyright 2002-2010 Jan-Ake Larsson Segmentation fault (core dumped) gdb says there are no debugging symbols so I couldn't try that. Due to this dvipng problem I am not able to use SymPyPrt (https://github.com/scios/IPyXt) on IPython2/3: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sympy/WzwS3578TuU/sZAYDcFQ8cIJ I did not have a problem with using SymPyPrt on Kubuntu Precise of last year, and I thought dvipng has practically not changed in Raring since Precise: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=dvipng&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all except for a new build. The changelog http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/d/dvipng/dvipng_1.14-1build1/changelog says the new build is for some kpathsea transition. The upstream author reports that this works in Linux Mint and thinks it could be some kpathsea problem: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/dvipng/2013-06/msg00001.html. Surely in Kubuntu Precise there was no problem. I'm not sure about Quantal since I never used it (directly came Precise->Raring). However I would imagine the same problem exists there because the dvipng version is the same. Please fix this, thank you! ** Affects: dvipng (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: I'm running Kubuntu Raring, with versions as below: texlive-base: 2012.20120611-5 dvipng: 1.14-1build1 I have this simple document foo.tex: \documentclass[16pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{breqn} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} $ \infty $ \end{document} I do latex foo.tex and I get the .dvi files with no problems.
