Fatal (use l2hconf): l2hconf.pm To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com In-Reply-To: <20041217064357.25248.qmail@web90109.mail.scd.yahoo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-IsSubscribed: yes I just tried the following: - Uninstall perl from cygwin using cygwin setup.exe - installed Active Perl 5.8 on window. - use the cygutils perl.exe stub as described on http://cygutils.fruitbat.org/perl-contrib/index.html - Now when I try latex2html, I get other errors, and when I try to build latex2html, I got zillions of errors. - So, I removed Active Perl, and the perl.exe stub, it is just not working, and reinstalled cygwin perl again from setup.exe. And back to debugging this perl to see what I can find. If I know at least anyone out there got latex2html working on cygwin, this will give me hope. --- bill BW wrote: > > --- Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes > wrote: > > > > > I'd recommend using the perl debugger (perl -d > > latex2html foo.tex) > > to step through and see if you can isolate where > > things are going > > astray.
