Looks like no image-types (.png or .gif ) were specified as the default
when LaTeX2HTML was installed.

There's an option  --image_type  (or something similar)
that can be specified when you run  ./configure .

I don't know why the default of  .png  was not used.
Perhaps it was, but you don't have the netpbm utilities required
to support PNG graphics.

In this case, it will *not* fall back to .gif .
If you want GIF images you have to say so explicitly,
at least until such time as Unisys ceases to claim patent rights.
