Well I've only ever used LaTeX. Perhaps I don't need it, but I'm not sure. I am unfamiliar with the specific differences between plain TeX and the LaTeX2e macros. I use Miktex on my windows box and have always used LaTeX reference materials for composing my documents. LaTeX used to be installed on this BSD box and I don't recall having any problems back then (it was installed as a part of print/lilypond). Well, now that I look through lilypond's Makefile, it appears that latex is a part of print/teTeX? *is a little confused* I will try installing that instead.On Fri, Jan 21, 2005 at 09:14:57AM -0700, Aaron Dalton wrote:
When doing a make on print/latex I get the following error:

I am sure this is some sort of path thing because tex.pool indeed exists at /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/tex.pool; however, I have been unable to figure out what I need to change where to make it work.
I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE. Any help you could provide would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time!
Is there some particular reason why you must use print/latex ? If there is not I would suggest that you use print/teTeX instead. It is probably more up to date and is what most people use for TeX-related stuff.
What are the differences between print/latex and print/teTeX? Why are there two ports?
Thanks for your help! Aaron
