The trick is that the location of the icons for those buttons must be
specified relative to the www home directory. This I discovered by staring
at Arne's installation. On linux boxes that is usually /home/httpd. What I
did was to make a directory called latex2html in the directory
/home/httpd/icons which already existed. You might have to set up your box
as a web server for this directory to exist, I don't know. Into this new
directory, I copied the contents of the icons.gif directory in the
latex2html distribution. Finally, in the latex2html.config file I have:

$ICONSERVER = "/icons/latex2html";

In summary:

$ICONSERVER is defined relative to /home/httpd
I put the icons (from icons.gif) in /home/httpd/icons/latex2html
I define $ICONSERVER to be /icons/latex2html in latex2html.config
I re-ran install-test

The other trick was that I had to install the netpbm package. Previously I
didn't have that.
