Unable to install on CentOS.
I have tried the manual install ,which results in make issues with OpenSSL (can't seem to get around this at the moment), and using linuxbrew, which results in issues with cairo package. (1.8.8.x is the latest from the yum repository) and attempting to install it manually *cairo that is), is something I haven't gotten around to at the moment but this is at the end of almost 90 mins of getting around other errors to arrive at this point. I will post error messages later.
Did you manage to install this on Centos?
I was trying to install this on CentOS version 6.7 and ended up finding that this is not possible on anything below version 7 due to issues with some libraries and python (fontforge for instance requires version 2.7: https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2616) so I wasn't able to install it on my target OS. However I was successfully adapting this script https://gist.github.com/rajeevkannav/d07f822e209a22d07176 for CentOs until I ran into the python issues
I had the same issue but was able to install this on Centos 6.4 in the end. This script worked without any modifications https://github.com/ukwa/w3act/blob/master/conf/converter/build-pdf2htmlEX-2.12.sh
@kpldesigns I tried the script in 6.7 without any modifications and it fails in make installing at https://github.com/ukwa/w3act/blob/master/conf/converter/build-pdf2htmlEX-2.12.sh#L59. I wish I had time to look into it at the momentbut I don't.
Found this thread after a lot of trial and error. Was able to successfully install pdf2htmlEX on Centos 7 using the script linked by @kevin-lynch. So thanks!
