Ubuntu – LaTeXit alternative for ubuntu

latexsoftware-recommendation

On my Mac I was using LaTeXit. It takes a LaTeX code and produces instant pdfs (or pngs, jpgs, etc…).

I'm sure there's a similar programme for Ubuntu. But I was unable to find one.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Markus.

The equivalent application should be KLatexFormula, which can be installed by

sudo apt-get install klatexformula

But if you have a recent enough Ubuntu, the current version (3.2.7) triggers a bug that makes it unusable, which is fixed in 3.2.8, but it is not available at this date.

You can probably compile it from source following the instructions, I have not tried.

I have submitted a bug report.

UPDATE --- there is already (two hour after the filing of the bug!) a fix filed for Trusty that should fix the problem. Thanks to the developer.
