Re: [Inkscape-devel] Problem with the Latex Formula module
Sorry, my first message was meant to be addresed to the list.
Could you try with the latest svn version of the extension script and give us feedback?
http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape/inkscape/trunk/share/ext...
It is better, I have now a window message :) :
dvips: ! DVI file can't be opened.
[…]
Yes, it's better!
Now I guess you got this message because the formula input you gave to the extension was either not valid LateX, or it became invalid because of a shell expansion which occured when the script was called by the extensions manager (this is a bug).
Can you try with a simple "( \cos(x) )" LaTeX input?
To know how your imput will be expanded you can use the following shell command: $ echo -E "$$\cos(x)$$" 8012\cos(x)8012
For example '$$' is expanded to the pid of the processus. As a workarround, try not to use '$' or '$$' but '(' and '[' instead to enter math mode.
Stéphane.
PS: I'll also try to improve error reports when the given input is not valid LaTeX.
