mimetex is now on this blog

I just installed Mathematics Filter for Drupal, and now working toward more professional math(μαθηματικά) blog Eyes Shining

\int _{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x)\mathrm{d}x

\int _{-\infty}^{\infty}f(x)\mathrm{d}x

I'm using Site5's hosting, currently I'm really happy with it. Never used their support system, and I don't want to get support either because I like to do everything myself.

The difficult part to install mathematics filter is to compile mimetex on the server. Because I have no idea of SSH, and I'm currently in BNL, which blocks the SSH port to the outside for some reason...
so I wrote a auto installer script for mimetex, basically, it's just using PHP to execute the shell command.
Create a new PHP script, add the code below.

<?php
echo `cc -DAA mimetex.c gifsave.c -lm -o mimetex.cgi`;
?>

move that script in the same folder as the mimetex source. run it. and now move mimetex.cgi to your CGI folder and it should work.
