Uh sorry, I meant 775 as chmod on the convert file and it's not in a
world-readable directory... (outside the webfolder)
Something like [[image:big.jpg|200px]] gives me an include error...
200px-big.jpg does not exist (yes ofcourse, I replaced big.jpg with
something existing :))
Where can I override the path for dvips? And where can I download a
binairy of dvips, I can't seem to find it...
Thanks in advance!

There's a very good chance you cannot get texvc working, without
assistance from the people who run your servers to install the
necessary software.
Ok, I download the TeX binairy from the sourceforge
page, I downloaded
imagemagick en chmodded it to 777 (the convert file)
That sounds very bad; don't do that. ImageMagick should be installed
into a system directory, generally, and binaries should definitely
*NEVER* be world-writable.
so, when does the
convert do its work? I enabled it in the LocalOptions.php file and
uploaded a big image but it does not resize the image.
Did you specify an image size like [[image:big.jpg|200px]] ? Have you
set the location of the convert binary and properly enabled use of
ImageMagick and resizing? (See LocalSettings.php)
Also I get this error:
PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips,
gs, and convert
I have no dvips, and I cannot find it (a binairy)
It will never work without dvips. You need it installed, and in the
system PATH. If it's installed in a location that's not in the system
PATH, you need to be able to override the PATH environment variable to
include it.
Gs is in /usr/bin or something like that.
Well, that's something at least.
There are files with .tex extension in /images/tmp but
not in
images/math
Does someone know what is going on?
You're missing at least several of the programs required for TeX
support, so it's unable to produce complete output.
