In which we attempt to document installation of LaTeXML onto a Debian system, with the assistance of Michael Kohlhase

LaTeXML is the work primarily of Bruce Miller of NIST. It's an attempt to provide a more or less automated LaTeX to XML + cMATHML conversion.

We installed this on barracks,  one of our 1U servers that is the primary operations server, with some production roles, as well.

The particular instance of LaTeXML we installed is from Michael's personal subversion tree, so it is _not_

the tarball release from the website above. Using instructions from the LaTeXML project page as a starting point for debian pacakges needed to be installed.

requirement list , package installed

Recent version of perl:  perl_5.8.4-8_i386.deb
