Thanks, I've solved my problem :-)

The latex2html included in RedHat Linux 7.1 was not the last, and was
faulty.

Version included in RH 7.1 : 2K.1beta (1.47)
Last upload (for now) : 2K.1beta (1.50)

I've installed the really last, and works great.
Also, RH 7.1 provides netpbm-9.9, which appears to work.

thanks again,

ps, would you like driving people to get crazy ?!   :-))))))
why on earth don't you use a standard version numbering, like "version
1.2.3", or "2001-12-31.ver123" or similar?
If you upload a file named: "latex2html-2K1beta.tar.gz"
how can one knows if it's the last, or not, or whatever else ...?!
