Heres another package to add, sudo apt-get install mediawiki-math. This is required for math markup in MediaWiki. The executibles, latex, gs, dvips, imagemagick and texvc are required. --Sven 22:50, 25 June 2008 (NZST)

If you use apt-get install dvipng tetex-extra cjk-latex ocaml you probably still have to run make in the math directory to compile and create texvc in that directory. The command sudo apt-get install mediawiki-math just installs texvc in /usr/bin. Either way, we must make sure gs, dvips, latex, imagemagick and texvc are available and the directories 'tmp' and 'math' under 'images' exist and are writable. --Sven 10:42, 27 June 2008 (NZST)
