Claire: That looks more like vanilla TeX than LaTeX. I know I've got my masters in analytical chemistry in LaTeX format somewhere--I may need to find a nifty way to copy it from my old Amiga as it's got formulas, subheadings, ToC, graphics, etc.

After some quick testing, I"m not getting the errors Claire got at first, but am also getting the no such image type errors with a LaTeX file that processes normally to a dvi. I've started perusing the documentation that's sent as a pdf in the package, will check more in a few hours.
For the packager: http://www.mail-archive.com/latex2html@tug.org/msg01811.html relevant maillist entry to our problem.
Thanks for your work on this Bill. I get the same errors on i586 and x86_64 with any switch I've tried. eg. latex2html -help $ latex2html -local_icons /usr/share/doc/latex2html-2008/example/report.tex Error: No such image type ''. This installation supports (first is default): Sounds like it might be a missing BuildRequire
