MathMode Plugin Home Page Not Working

The MathMode plugin was working in my wiki until a few days ago, when a customer notified me that it stopped working.

I checked http://foswiki.org/Extensions/MathModePlugin and it doesn't seem to work either.

Any ideas as what the proble might be?

The plugins in the http://foswiki.org/Extensions web are not "live", so they are not expected to work there.

You need to check your server logs for any errors, and also check your System topic: InstalledPlugins That will show you any errors that are encountered during plugin initialization. Plugins usually don't just stop working without some external event happening. Did the perl or CPAN modules get updated on the server?

It's not much to go on unless you can report a much more detailed error.

The error I see at System/MathModePlugin is

<<< ERROR: problems during latex INPUT: \documentclass[fleqn,12pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} ...... [lots of other lines] .....

Please type another input file name ! Emergency stop. <*> /tmp/8OdLKVNxm9/BNmLkCQpGq

No pages of output. Transcript written on texput.log.

<<<<<<< At /tmp, 8OdLKVNxm9 exists, but BNmLkCQpGq doesn't.

I will check with our sys admins, but I'm pretty sure that the Perl and CPAN modules were not updated, as our wiki is on maintenance mode right now. The only updates should be OS updates.

Thank you

texput.log looks like this

At this point it's beyond my experience, maybe someone else will jump in. Since /usr/bin/latex is an external package, possibly that has been updated with OS updates? Also since it's writing to /tmp files, it could be a change in permissions, or file system space issues? I'm not sure what else to suggest.
