I have Miktex working with VSCode with the Latex Workshop extension. However, trying to insert equation with TexMaths give this in terminal:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::locale::conv::invalid_charset_error'
what(): Invalid or unsupported charset: UTF-8.UTF-8
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/TexMaths/TexMaths-0.52.1.sh: line 79: 209615 Aborted (core dumped) "/usr/local/bin/latex" -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode ${filename}.tex > ${filename}.out

and this in Libreoffice: Error: please check your TexMaths configuration...

My version is:
Libreoffice: LibreOffice 24.8.4.2 480(Build:2)
OS: Linux 6.13.2-arch1-1

    I have the same LibreOffice version and I see no such problem. Could you try with a fresh profile?

    mv ~./config/libreoffice ~./config/libreoffice.bak

    and reinstall TexMaths.

    Thank you for confirming. However, I tried your suggestion but no luck though. I'm not sure what's the difference with the Latex Workshop extension in VSCode

      Since you have a Linux system, I suggest you use the texlive distribution provided with your system...
