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!
