Hi Brian, I had followed the link and really ln -sf pdfetex.exe etex.ex fixes the problem for texi2dvi BUT NOT for pdftex tex-ref.tex This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a (Web2C 7.5.4) file:line:error style messages enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) make: *** [tex-ref.pdf] Error 1 But in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf: --------------------------------------------------- tex tex - -translate-file=cp227.tcx tex.in i aleph aleph - *aleph.ini latex pdfetex language.dat -translate-file=cp227.tcx *latex .ini etex pdfetex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex. ini pdftex pdfetex - -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdftex.ini --------------------------------------------------- So, perhaps should we do: ln -sf pdfetex.exe pdftex.exe ?
