I've installed a mediawiki and I'm trying to use proper math forumlae and managed to get hold of a compiled texvc executable which appears to be working as I was originally getting a 'texvc missing' error message which has now been replaced by:

Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert):

Texvc needs latex,gs,dvips and convert installed. Before I go installing all this I was just wondering if any of it is already provided on the server, as the error message helpfully neglects to tell me which particular executables it can't get at. I know it's not uncommon for latex to be installed.

Also, does anyone know how I could run 'make' without shell access, since from searching the forums it seems shell access isn't available on free accounts.

Thanks for any help you can give in advance.
