inkscape latex symbols

I am having issues creating latex symbols in inkscape. I get the following error;

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "eqtexsvg.py", line 157, in <module>
    e.affect()
  File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 215, in affect

lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: Document is empty, line 1, column 1

Investigation of this issue reveals that both a .dvi and a .ps file is created successfully with the formula, but pstoedit seems to produce an empty .svg file.

Can anyone shed some light onto why pstoedit seems to fail? I have used this functionality not long ago, am I missing something?

Re: inkscape latex symbols

Neat, this inspired me to try the Latex Inkscape extension because I never knew about it. I got the same behaviour as you. When I tried running "pstoedit -f plot-svg eq.ps eq.svg" in the temporary directory myself, I got:

The interpreter seems to have failed, cannot proceed !

It seems like the current ghostscript is newer than what pstoedit expects. Haven't managed to fix it though :S.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Re: inkscape latex symbols

@Army: That was not my intention, just copy paste within firefox, fixed now...
(Although it was pretty neat )
