Render Latex Equation fails on Linux distributions
Render Latex Equation fails on Linux distributions The Render Latex equation Extension fails. The python file eqtexsvg.py fails in two places:
1. This escript calls latex with -output-directory option wich does not exist in common Latex Linux distributions. It can be solved easily avoiding the -output-directory option using python commands to manage the generated files.
2. This script calls pstoedit with -f svg option but standar pstoedit for Linux distributions do not include a svg driver!! This driver must be installed separately, and seems to be quite hard to find it out for free.
Good work.

See my earlier post "LaTeX formula effect" for a version that works with Linux without the share-ware driver if skconvert is installed (i.e. sketch).
BTW, it appears sketch is required for ps and eps input anyway.
