I dont know too, whats going on. The strange thing is, that after compilation with tex4ht (and the -d switch) a _file_

html.

is created within the *.tex-directory, which shows the one test image I have in my tex document. Unfortunately, nothing is in the "html" folder.

Nothing is aliased and I am using a Mac OS X 10.6.2.
