[l2h] Problems under Win32 (netpbm)

[Steve Mayer]

I'm not sure I know the answers to this, but some of the previous messages
in the latex2html archive may help. A search for pnmcrop at
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/latex2html reveals lots of messages
but two of them look promising:

1999-11/msg00010: Re: [l2h] A solution and more problems with W95 install.
It's worth reading the whole of this message but what caught my attention
was:

Definitely, within prefs.pm .

$prefs{'PNMCROP'} = 'pnmcrop';
<snip>
Make those names complete paths.

A search for netpbm in the archive may also prove useful.

Also, when you got round the previous problems with ghostscript and dvips
did you follow the ideas at
http://cournot.u-strasbg.fr/yildi/l2h_eng.html and
http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/l2hinst.htm?

I only ask because many people have successfully managed to install using
them.
