I'm trying to install PassiveTeX on a handful of computers. The
Win* boxen configured like a charm thanks to MiKTeX. My FreeBSD box,
however, has been no end of headaches.
I started out with a vanilla teTeX 1.0.7 install, and had some problems
with pdfxmltex; after poking around the list archives for a while, I
saw that I needed to upgrade from pdftex-13d to pdftex-14h; after a lot
of guesswork that seems to be OK.
But now something still seems to be broken. pdflatex works just
fine, and I can format one of the test files in the passivetex/test
directory just fine with xmltex/dvipdfm, but never with pdfxmltex:
$ pdfxmltex teiu5.fo
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
(./teiu5.fo{/usr/local/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg}

And xmltex fails on some of the *.fo files, particularly darkness.fo:

I've run texhash many times, and built pdfxmltex.fmt and xmltex.fmt
thusly:
initex \&latex /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/passivetex/xmltex.tex
pdfinitex \&pdflatex \
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/passivetex/pdfxmltex.ini
Any ideas what might be going wrong? Both errors seem pretty fundemental...
Thanks,
Z.
