I am still clueless about something; maybe a lot. Perhaps I should
just ask if anyone who used the tetex-bundle to install TeX has built
jadetex successfully and is willing to tell me how. The only texmf.cnf
I can find is the one in /sw/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, so that is
the one I modified. I followed the following instructions from, as
well as I could from http://jadetex.sourceforge.net. I took the values
starting with the '% latex setting line and pasted them into
texmf.cnf, e.g.

% latex settings
main_memory.latex = 1100000
param_size.latex = 1500
stack_size.latex = 1500
hash_extra.latex = 15000

Then I followed these instructions from the web page 

cp -R /sw/share/texmf/tex/latex/config /tmp
cd /tmp/config
 Now do this: 
tex -ini -progname=latex latex.ini

 This will produce a file latex.fmt in the same directory. Rename this
 to latex.fmt, then become root and put it in $TEXMFMAIN/web2c. This
 is where all the format files are kept. (You can delete the other
 copied files from config afterwards.)

mv latex.fmt /sw/share/texmf/web2c

Then I tried to build jadetex which blew up. I got messages about tipa
and mmasym packages, Elsevier fonts, dummyels.sty. Finally it blew up
with  TeX capacity exceeded, which means I did not actually modify the
parameters I though I was modifying.
