Hello, I have just released preview-latex 0.6.1 on SourceForge, and I would recommend that you use this version for your next port instead of 0.6, as 0.6 has problems with an incomplete "security" backport into the newest versions of GNU GhostScript. As compared to 0.5.8.2, your current port, documentation has been widely extended and some functionality added. I append the release notes for 0.6.1. You can get the newest source archive at <URL:http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/preview-latex/preview-latex-0.6.1.tar.gz>; Release notes for version 0.6.1 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex is a system for displaying inline images of selected parts of a file in Emacs source buffers. It is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, GNU Emacs-21.1, AUC TeX, a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. XEmacs support is again being worked on. If you are planning on contributing, please contact the developers' list. Due to missing image support of Emacs-21.1 under Microsoft Windows, this platform is not usable at the current point of time. Release focus have been user interface improvements and documentation. The TeXinfo documentation now also contains instructions for the used LaTeX style, and users of Emacs' desktop package will have previews survive into their next Emacs session. The LaTeX style now has an option for making TeX bounding boxes known to Dvips in case it gets them wrong (frequent with packages like PStricks). Due to a defective backport of security handling, GNU GhostScript-6.53 failed to work with version 0.6. We now don't use the incomplete functionality. User feedback about errors and suggested feature improvements is welcome and heeded. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. If you can spare the time, you can also comment on or rate this project at <URL:http://freshmeat.net/projects/preview-latex>. Additional files can be found at <URL:http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/preview-latex>: * If you don't have texinfo 4.0 or later installed, prebuilt documentation files can be found there. * AUC TeX can be found at several places, but if you want the latest 11.11 (alpha, but stable AFAIK) with no known issues concerning preview-latex, you can find it there as well. * RPMs for preview-latex and AUC TeX are provided for users of RedHat Linux. The RPMs require a few packages: * GhostScript 6.51 is included in RH 7.2, but if you use an earlier release it can be downloaded from the RH7.2 updates, <URL:ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i386/>; * Finally, Emacs-21.1 can be downloaded from rawhide, <URL:ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/>. I installed this using 'rpm -i --nodeps --force', which worked for me, but since it does not follow the usual emacs + emacs-X11 + emacs-nox, YMMV. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: David.Kastrup@t-online.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
