Current latex2html (2018.3 or after) uses preview package, but it
it is not included in latex2html distributions.

1) Preview package is included in some TeX systems like as 
TeXLive or MiKTeX. If you use such TeX systems, you don't need 
to install it.

2) Preview package is available on CTAN site:

  https://ctan.org/pkg/preview:

If you download and install it on your PC, the problem may be 
solved.

3) latex2html (2018.3 or after) uses the preview package when 
USE_DVIPNG (default), or IMAGE_TYPE = svg (default). So, if you 
specify options 

  -nouse_dvipng -image_type=png

to latex2html, the problem may not occur. At "make test", please
try:

  make test "ARGS=-nouse_dvipng -image_type=png"

But, If you want svg images for equations, you should follow 1) 
or 2).
