Bonjour: Your message is not clear in the sense that teTeX has two main part: binaries and TDS. The first one is OS specific: the cygwin package provides the basic binaries [tex,latex,pdftex,pdflatex,dvips,makeindex,...] and suitable scripts in the TDS/web2c directory ... Further the TDS is assumed to be /usr/share/texmf
My suggestion to solve your problem is: 1] install your (teTeX) TDS directory somewhere (if needed); 2] remove the TDS/web2c directory (or rename it); 3] link your TDS to /usr/share/texmf ; 4] reinstall the cygnus tetex package to provide the correct binaries and script; 5] for more information read: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-06/msg01274.html 6] let me know if any trouble; Good LaTeXing, Jerome [cygnus teTeX porter] "Ivan N.
