[l2h] Why images cannot be generated?

[hooklee]

Dear Ross Moore,

Thanks for your help. Stragely, it seems that config.bat have successfully find AFPL Ghostscript 8.00. The following is the segmented texts in config.log after running config.bat:

.......
checking for gswin32c... C:\gs\gs8.00\bin\gswin32c.exe
checking for ghostscript version... 8.00
.......

Similarly, the following is the segmented texts in pstoimg.bat after running install.bat:

.......
# Ghostscript
my $GS = 'C:\\gs\\gs8.00\\bin\\gswin32c.exe';
my $GSDEVICE = 'pnmraw';
my $GSALIASDEVICE = 'ppmraw';
.......

PS:
AFPL Ghostscript 8.00 is the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript, which can be downloaded at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/%7Eghost/doc/AFPL/get800.htm. I installed the win32 version of AFPL Ghostscript 8.00, and the right command corresponding to "gs" is "gswin32c". The followings are the display of "gswin32c -v" and "gswin32c --help":

>> Hi all,
>> 
>> I download the latest version of latex2html from www.latex2htm.org, but I encountered strange problem when I run test.bat after running config.bat. The problem is: all images, including the ones generated to display complex equations, cannot be displayed in the html pages. The report is as follows:
>> 
>> Converting image #2
>> pstoimg.bat: Error: Ghostscript returned error status 0
>> pstoimg.bat: Error: Couldn't find pnm output of C:\ChinaTeX\Temp\l2h1624\image002.ps
>> Error: Cannot read 'img2.gif': No such file or directory
>> 
>> Although it seems that I have not correctly installed Ghostscript, I really installed the latest version (Ghostscript 8.00) and set "$prefs{'EXTRAPATH'} = 'C:\\gs\\gs8.00\\bin';" in prefs.pm before I ran config.bat.

>> If I omit the problem and continue to run install.bat, the problem remains when I try to translate any .tex file to html documents.
