Hi.
Apologies for this not being related directly to Fink, but I need good
advice and I figured this would be a good place to turn.
At some point in my un-enlightened past I installed a teTeX
distribution. Regrettably, I cannot remember what distro it was, but I
do remember that it was bundled with the excellent TexShop. perhaps it
was Gerben Wierda's distribution.
Anyway, this distro installed things in:
/usr/local/teTeX/
though there may be more items in other locations, I don't know (which
is precisely why I'm moving my LaTeX over to fink: I'm sick of these
bits and pieces of forgotten software festering in their
un-updatedness!)
First, I'd like to ask: is anyone familiar with this distro? Any
advantages over the fink distro?
Second, I presume TexShop, which uses pdflatex to typeset, will still
work, yes? It is quite configurable and it's paths can be set.
I am moving over to fink so that I can be up-to-date; I've come across
a problem while trying to use an EPS file output from Mathematica and
it's driving me nuts (I keep getting told there is no valid
BoundingBox, yet, line two of the file clearly says %%BoundingBox ...).
I am hoping that being up to date on everything will help, and if it
doesn't, it will be a starting point in asking others for help.
Thanks for the off-topic help, but I can't afford to end up without a
LaTeX system, especially not this week!
Paul
