[l2h] [latex2html-2K.1beta] Problem with pstoimg

[Jerome Gout]

Hello,

I've just install the release latex2html-2K.1beta (is it the latest
one ?) and I can't figure out to convert ps image to png image using
the perl script pstoimg.

Here is the error returned (using -debug):

....

Error while converting image

The ps production works fine, I checked both PS images
(/tmp/l2h7788/image001.ps and /tmp/l2h7788/image002.ps) but the
problem seems to be a bug in the perl script itself ($PNMCROPOPT).

The problem is that my pnmcrop is an old one (pnmcrop: Version: Netpbm
8.4 April 2000) and so the config script that produce the final
pstoimg script skip the symbol declaration.

I guess it should also skip the usage of the undeclared symbol to
avoid the error ...

Secondly, my old version of pnmcrop doesn't recognize the -verbose
option BUT the ./config/config.pl srcipt launched by ./configure said
YES ! 

...
checking for ghostscript library and font paths... built-in paths are correct
checking for pnmcrop... /usr/X11R6/bin/pnmcrop

/usr/X11R6/bin/pnmcrop -verbose yes
checking for pnmflip... /usr/X11R6/bin/pnmflip
...

If I try it directly :

/home/jgout/tools/latex2html-2K.1beta/> /usr/X11R6/bin/pnmcrop -verbose
usage:  pnmcrop [-white|-black] [-left] [-right] [-top] [-bottom] [pnmfile]

I'm going to update my netpnm distribution ...
