Hi,
I have a small orgmode document with a \begin{align} section for a few equations. I can successfully export to HTML using MathJax, but I need a nice little self-contained document, so I'm trying to use dvipng. Unfortunately it keeps exporting with MathJax.
Here's my document:
=========================================
#+TITLE: Test Doc
#+AUTHOR: Ken Williams
#+PROPERTY: results output
#+PROPERTY: exports both
#+OPTIONS: tex:dvipng
Some math:
\begin{align}
a_{11}& =b_{11}&
a_{12}& =b_{12}\\
a_{21}& =b_{21}&
a_{22}& =b_{22}+c_{22}
\end{align}
=========================================
The value of my "org-latex-create-formula-image-program" variable is dvipng - I set it manually from within the editor by doing "set-variable org-latex-create-formula-image-program dvipng".
Any hints? There are no clues in the *Messages* buffer.
My org-mode is Org-mode version 7.9.4.

Hi Ken,
So in short I think the easiest course of action is upgrading to the
newest release, e.g. using ELPA (M-x list-packages).

I cannot reproduce using emacs -q.
Does it work as expected when you try from emacs -q?
Are you using the new exporter? It's named ox now, but it might be
org-export in your version. In v8 you'd need to require ox-html.
Have you tried your document with v8?

Do you have dvipng installed? I install it via texlive, e.g.
tlmgr install dvipng

Mine is:
Org-mode version 8.1.2 (release_8.1.2 @

I agree - I'm trying to update now. I hadn't used ELPA before, so I tried
that route and I'm getting a ton of 'ox-*' related errors like this:
------------------

I can try installing manually but it would be great if I could get ELPA
working.

So I installed org-8.1.2 manually and now it does seem to be *trying* to
process the images through LaTeX. But it's not succeeding. In the *Messages*
buffer, I see this:
--------------------
Creating LaTeX Image...
Failed to create dvi file from
c:/Users/KWILLI~1/AppData/Local/Temp/orgtex6488Qq2.tex
--------------------
I pasted the contents of ~/AppData/Local/Temp/orgtex6488Qq2.log here, but I
don't see anything strange in it:

What happens if you run latex on the tex file by hand?
On Linux, I would say
cd .../Local/Temp
latex orgtex6488Qq2.tex
I presume something similar would work on Windows.

It succeeds:
% latex orgtex6488Qq2.tex
...
Output written on orgtex6488Qq2.dvi (1 page, 1304 bytes).
Transcript written on orgtex6488Qq2.log.
Additionally, if I run pdflatex manually on the tex file, the output is
sensible.
I don't know how to verify that the tex/latex Emacs is running is the same as
the one I get at the command line - nor whether the failure is during
tex/latex or during dvipng.

Then try to run dvipng FILE.dvi or perhaps just dvipng FILE. Does
this work?

Yes, it produces a proper output PNG that looks good, but note that the base
filename has a '1' appended:
% dvipng orgtex6488Qq2.dvi
This is dvipng 1.14 Copyright 2002-2010 Jan-Ake Larsson

% ls -ltr orgtex6488Qq2*
-rwx------+ 1 Administrators 1317 Sep 18 13:21 orgtex6488Qq2.tex*
-rw-r--r--+ 1 kwilliams 75721 Sep 19 16:17 orgtex6488Qq2.pdf
-rw-r--r--+ 1 kwilliams 8 Sep 19 16:20 orgtex6488Qq2.aux

-rw-r--r--+ 1 kwilliams 3883 Sep 20 09:51 orgtex6488Qq21.png
This would probably be a lot easier to debug if the emacs logs included the
command line strings that are being run.

That's weird, but I can reproduce it here. It's follows from the
manpage
-o name
Send output to the file name. A single occurrence of %d or
%01d, ..., %09d will be exchanged for the physical page
number (this can be changed, see the --dvinum switch). The
default output filename is file%d.png where the input DVI
file was file.dvi.

This is untested, but try to do:
C-h f org-create-formula-image-with-dvipng
click on org.el link
with the cursor on the within the defun do
M-x edebug-defun
Create simple document an make Org call dvipng.
