Subject: [BUG] org-create-formula-image requires 'gs' when it doesn't look like to be necessary (causing issues on Windows)
Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:07:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <639f70ca-4ba1-aadf-2f07-6a8d18b0320d@fgiasson.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am a Windows user and I am testing the Org 9.x branch. I just
discovered that I couldn't display inline latex anymore using C-c C-x
C-l. I was getting that error:
org-create-formula-image: Can’t find ‘gs’ (you need to install the
programs: latex, dvipng and ghostscript.)
A look at orl.el line #4079: "(defcustom
org-preview-latex-process-alist", for "dvipng" we have a programs list:
"("latex" "dvipng" "gs")"
The problem here is that "gs" is not an executable that exists in
Ghostscript for Windows nor I think it is necessary for that to work.
I did remove it from the list of required parameters, then I restarted
Emacs and everything is working fine now.
Any thoughts on that? Should it be fixed? (I guess)
Thanks,
Fred
