I have been trying to install the teTeX-0.4 port. It fetches, patches, and builds fine. However in the install I have gotten 3 straight errors, all of them due to missing files. The files I've found missing so far: kpse-2.6/web2c/tex/tex.pool kpse-2.6/web2c/mf/mf.pool kpse-2.6/web2c/mp/mp.pool When the make tries to copy these and can't find them, it dies. There may be more missing - I keep doing a "touch path/file.name" when it happens to see if it will finish the install, but I haven't got it to install yet. I would just use the package, but my network connection today is horrible and it's taking forever to download. How-To-Repeat: make all install clean
* kpse-2.6/web2c/tex/tex.pool * kpse-2.6/web2c/mf/mf.pool * kpse-2.6/web2c/mp/mp.pool Are you sure these files are missing? I have seen tex (both original and teTeX) compilations die when there is a half-baked installation. Try removing bin/tex and share/texmf (or lib/texmf) from /usr/local and try again. Satoshi

I was upgrading from teTeX-0.3 which kept things in /usr/local/teTeX so I don't thing there was a partial installation problem. I looked in work/teTeX-src/kpse-2.6/web2c and didn't see these files and it was dying when it was trying to copy them to their final locations so I assumed this was a bug. I would check again, but I finally got the package to download yesterday and I need latex today to write an exam I am giving tomorrow so I don't really want to mess about w/ it today. I'm going to be out of town tomorrow afternoon as well, so next week I will try again and see what happens. ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ "Give a man a beer and he wastes an hour Teach a man to brew and he wastes a lifetime"
* I was upgrading from teTeX-0.3 which kept things in /usr/local/teTeX so I * don't thing there was a partial installation problem. Hmm. Well, it certainly has been building fine on the package building machine. When I saw something like that before (i.e., tex/latex build dying), it was always some kind of incompatible version in the default directries, so I made a stab in the dark. Satoshi
Please close this report. I have since successfully installed the port. I'm guessing I just had some old junk around (although I thought I'd cleaned it out) that was screwing up the install. ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ *********************************************************
