well, i tried to do your suggestion, but the problem still remains.

i take a look the output and see the following messages:
    Error: Cannot append to 'TMP/verbatim_counter': No such file or
directory

   Doing section links ......
   Error: Cannot append to 'TMP/verbatim': No such file or directory

   Copying navigation icons ...
    *** Adding document-specific styles *** Error (Link): Link
"pitag.html" to "index.html" failed: Operation not permitted
    at /usr/bin/latexhtml line 871


What does it mean the next line?
    $* is no longer supported at /usr/bin/latex2html line 10589


p.s. my usb memory is a vfat mount point
