I try to set up mediawiki on my FreeBSD 8.2 with math rendering extension. The wiki itself was easy as \pi.
To install the math extension, I followed this guide:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_FreeBSD#TeX_support_2
This just didn't work and I get the error:
So the packages should be all installed properly and in PATH
I also tried to use texvc from /usr/port/print/texvc with the same result. Since texvc is in ports, as is mediawiki, maybe you know how to fix it?
Thanks
//edit: www/mediawiki LaTeX math plugin search path issues still cannot get this to work

This tells me, texvc converts it to dvi but then cannot produce a png image, I think.Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex and dvipng (or dvips + gs + convert)): \pi
