The texvc executable seems to be missing on the servers running HHVM. To reproduce make sure you have MathJax disabled and HHVM enabled. Open any page for editing, and enter a formula that is not yet rendered, then preview. Expected result: The formula is correctly rendered. Actual result: An error is shown: Failed to parse (Missing <code>texvc</code> executable. Please see math/README to configure.): dsafasdfdsafasdf I don't know whether just installing texvc on the respective servers is enough, or if there is a real issue with the extension Math under HHVM. If there is, please move this report accordingly.
AuFCL writes, at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:S2x174x44fnr5xx7 : when previewing results of modifying a <math> expression on English WikiSource with HHVM enabled, this error is presented: Failed to parse (Missing <code>texvc</code> executable. Please see math/README to configure.): \scriptstyle{i=\frac{702\cdot25}{2\times10}=35\cdot11,\quad\mu=1\cdot738} . Notes: * The second line of the error message is simply informational regarding the input LaTeX string and is not likely pertinent to this report. * The error reliably goes away when HHVM is deselected from Beta choices. * Reliably returns when both HHVM reenabled and the previewed formula is tweaked to force re-evaluation. * There is no problem displaying cached results irrespective of HHVM state. * There may be further significance in the fact that <code< does not appear to have been parsed by the error processor. * Verified similar results on English WikiPedia.
