I had a problem with my invoices failing with an error, and I wanted to debug the latex .tex files going into pdflatex, so I was tryin to figure out how to keep the files around. I wandered through twisty corners of Template::LaTex, but I didn't find the place where the files were unlinked... strace could see them....
While I screwed around with Log4Perl a bunch, and I tried to force another PDFLATEX_PATH, eventually, I just did: sudo mv /usr/bin/pdflatex /usr/bin/pdflatex.dist cp /usr/bin/pdflatex.dist /home/mcr/bin/pdflatex # it matters what the $0 is. cat /home/mcr/bin/pdflatex #!/bin/sh touch /tmp/my$$ exec >/tmp/ff$$ exec 2>&1 echo ARGS: $* pwd mkdir /tmp/ff$$.d cp * /tmp/ff$$.d stdin = /tmp/ff$$.d/stdin.txt cat >$stdin cat $stdin | /home/mcr/bin/pdflatex $* === doing this, I found that the line with the error looked like: STUFF from notes\medskip \\\medskip <- this line. === I removed the empty lines at the end of the notes section, and my problem went away. Clearly a bug, but I'm not sure where to fix it. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] m...@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
