Does the new packaging of TeX has any consequences for webwork?

TeX is now distributed in the texlive packages instead of tetex, and I was wondering whether there's anything one needs to watch out for in this regard, when setting up a new installation of webwork?

Lars.

Hi Lars,

I've used the texlive packages on Ubuntu with WeBWorK with no problems.

Make sure that the preview.sty file is included. It is needed for dvipng but fails silently if the file not there. (You can run the ../webwork2/bin/check_latex.tex script to see if the necessary TeX macros are all in place.)
