teTeX - fmt-Files not created

teTeX - fmt-Files not created

[rabe42]

Hi,

I'm new to teTeX on cygwin.

I follow the instruction in 

/usr/doc/Cygwin/tetex-beta-20001218.README

deinstall and reinstall the teTeX-beta distribution, like explaint
in the mail archive.

Delete the ls-R - file and execute 

texconfig confall
texconfig rehash
texconfig init

with no errors!

But even then, I got no fmt files for latex, tex, etex, elatex or
even the pdftex family.

What have I to do, to get teTeX running?

Regards
Ralf

I'm in the process of providing a texmf tree for tetex.  Also, Jerome
is preparing a new tetex executables package.  So there is hope.

That's strange.  Are you sure all necessary libraries are there?

> What have I to do, to get teTeX running?

You could try pointing your setup.exe to

    http://lilypond.org/gnu-windows/testing

or just run:

    http://lilypond.org/gnu-windows/testing/setup.exe

and install tetex-beta and at least one of texmf-tiny or texmf-base.
You don't have to install lilypond, of course.

This is all experimental, but there have been some success reports.

Maybe better if you'd uninstall tetex-beta first.  Please let us know
if it works.

Greetings,
Jan.

After removing the old tetex-beta, I've installed all the stuff there:
- tetex-beta
- texmf-base
- texmf-extra

The good message:
The fmt-Files are now there and will be found.

But, if I call pdflatex I got the following error message:

Error: pdflatex (file pdftex.cfg): cannot open config file

This file was initially not in the texmf-tree. So I copy it from
the last teTeX-texmf-1.0 release.

After 

texconfig confall
texconfig rehash
texconfig init

this file is also in 

/usr/share/texmf/ls-R 

but pdflatex can't find it anyway.

So I try to use pure latex.

This is the error message I got:

! LaTeX Error: File `article.cls' not found.

Seems that something principally is broken. Some ideas where I have to dig?

Regards
Ralf

There is something broken, but not that much.  Some of the executables are
linked against a different version of png, so these are broken.

Ok, thanks, so this really seems to work.

Hmm, there's been a problem with that before.  I'll look into this.

That's really strange.  Do you have environment variables set, such as
TEXINPUTS?  This should not be necessary, but if you do, note that
tetex needs unix style paths, not dos style like miktex.

What do kpsewhich commands like

   17:29:23 fred@appel:~$ kpsewhich cmr10.tfm
   /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmr10.tfm
   17:29:26 fred@appel:~$ kpsewhich article.cls
   /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls

say?

Greetings,
Jan.

Re: teTeX - fmt-Files not created

[Jerome BENOIT]

Rebuilding the tetex-beta package leads to a similar error:
I hope to be able to fix it soon !
