alegebra/mimetex issue

We are having problems with the algebra filter. Running /filter/algebra/algebradebug.php shows the following message at step 5. The thing that is interesting about this is the file exists. When I run the command in the shell, it indicates, "No such file or directory." Does anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Robert


sh: /var/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux: No such file or directory
The shell command
"/var/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux" -e "/var/moodledata/filter/algebra/de06d6c44d98ba4e42dffca988bf530b.gif" '\Large \frac{\sin\left(z\right)}{x^{2}+y^{2}}'

I've installed jsmath as a workaround.

I wonder if there is library missing.

I haven't been able to figure out what was causing the original issue, but was able to get around it by installing the mimetex app from Ubuntu and created a symbolic link to mimetex.linux to that version and it works.

Thanks for the info Robert. It was very helpful!

Considering we're not the only ones, I'm wondering how to report the bug...

All the best,
