Hello List,
it appears that the latex format is built with pdfetex
according to `/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-latex-base.cnf' .
So I modified the engine by hand: pdfetex -> tex ,
and I linked latex to tex :
evertything is fine now: what I mean is that
`\ifx\pdfoutput\udefined'
works as expected.
Nevertheless, I am still confused:
why the engine of latex is pdfetex and not tex ?
Thanks in advance,
Jerome

Hello List,
since a while I have tried to debug one of my latex/pdflatex manuscript
which had to compiled fine before I migrate to the texlive package:
I have just understand the trouble.
latex is linked to pdfetex !
while tex is not !
Why ?
So, of course, the command `\ifx\pdfoutput\udefined'
does not work as expected when latex (and not pdflatex) is used.
I expect that latex is linked to tex instead.
did I miss something ?
