My server log file shows the following entries when a page using the Math extension needs rendering: - [error] PHP Notice: - Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure. - in /wiki/extensions/Math/MathInputCheckTexvc.php on line 51, - referer: http://wiki/e/index.php?title=Formula&action=edit How to reproduce: - latest MediaWiki core code - latest E:Math code The math/README file is silent about this specific message "Missing texvc executable; please see math/README to configure" and does not give any guidance to avoid this message. The texvc executable is present in /wiki/extensions/Math/math directory, and rendering and the extension as such _works_. Solution / Suggestion: It appears that this specific PHP Notice is triggered by a missing Texvccheck code, this should be fixed by the maintainer and/or a corresponding help text is to be added to math/README file.
and in Math.php this text appears to be wrong: /** * The link to the texvc executable */ $wgMathTexvcCheckExecutable = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/texvccheck/texvccheck'; should be /** * The link to the texvccheck executable */ $wgMathTexvcCheckExecutable = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/texvccheck/texvccheck';

> I don't see the difference. * The link to the texvc executable must become * The link to the texvccheck executable
