Howdy,

On my system, using the align tab, contents `GoodLuck', I have a latexit-1-2.tex with contents

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[papersize={300.000000bp,581.000000bp},margin=0.000000bp]{geometry}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}\includegraphics*[scale=0.900000,clip=true,viewport=279.000000bp 634.000000bp 333.000000bp 645.000000bp,hiresbb=true]{latexit-1.pdf}
\end{document}

which is VERY different from the contents of the latexit-1-2.tex that you put on line. I wish I knew what/where this is set up.

By the way, when you were using the Fink distribution did you have Ghostscript installed? 


Good Luck,
