Has anyone had a problem with texvc hanging when trying to render math
within a wiki page? My installation was working fine until yesterday
when updates to pages including <math> would hang forever. Looking at
the processes owned by apache on the server, I can see:
./math/texvc
sh -c convert
convert
in addition to the other httpd processes. Any ideas? I've tried
running texvc from the command line and get the following output until
it hangs:
$ ./texvc ~/public_html/testing/ ~/public_html/testing/ 'E(C_R) = -
\frac{1}{\log q} \sum_{i=1}^q \frac{n_r^i}{n_r} \log \frac{n_r^i}{n_r}'

Several temp files are generated, ending with .dvi, .aux, .log, .ps and
.tex. The .ps file does look like the correct rendering of the
formula, so I'm guessing the TeX/LaTeX piece is completing
successfully. Running texvc from the command line also forks a
'convert' process that hangs.
any advice?
