Description:
I am unable to get the math package to work, even after extensive efforts.
Here's what I've tried:
(1) compiled and tested texvc system -- it works fine from the command line
(2) ensured that dvips, convert, and latex were in the default path -- I even
added the path to those commands in render.ml as a test to see if it would help

• it did not.

(3) ensured that all necessary subdirectories existed and were owned by "apache".
(4) edited LocalSetting.php to assign the variables correctly
(4) I tried commenting out the commands to remove temporary files in render.ml
to see if I could find where the process was getting stuck. Apparently, none of
the temporary files are being created.

Despite following the instructions as precisely as possible, testing three
different versions of mediawiki, and googling extensively, I still get the error
"Failed to parse (unknown error)" for even the simplest equation. I know this
probably isn't enough information to solve my problem, but any test suggestions
that may help me figure out what is going wrong would be greatly, greatly
appreciated.
