in thread perl module for math representation...

Scroll down on the mimetex home page to find the links to download precompiled binaries for just about any OS. It is a stand alone executable, no dependencies.

    I was there...but perhaps I'm missing something. I was looking for mimetex.cgi to download to the server I'm using. None of the downloadable files is mimetex.cgi.

    Update: My apologies, tachyon. I kept thinking of .cgi as some perl script and was wondering why I wasn't seeing one. I downloaded one of the binaries and it works :) cheers

      The download links work fine. The file does not have a .cgi extension. It has a .exe extension on Win32, otherwise it is just called 'mimetex' Rename it. Download it in binary mode. This is for linux. Change the path to sun|macosx|netbsd|freebsd......

        Thanks!!

        I realised that what I saw as mimetex.cgi on some sites is a binary file and not what I was used to seeing - a perl script. So I was expecting to download a perl script - silly me.

        Thanks once again for helping :)

        cheers
