There are te... and ...tex type packages available on your "supplementary" cd, including tetex-beta.20020207-93. After it's installed, you should probably go through the motions of YaST2's SuSE config. I don't remember if it was one of the te/tex type packages or just docbook, but even after installing them for a build, the doc portion still failed with errors. Later after SuSE config ran, however, everything just worked. At any rate, the tetex would only be required to build the src.rpm into the appropriate arch.rpms. It won't be a run-time/install dependency. Meaning if you have one big image that you do your building on, once the rpm is built you can install it on other images without tetex without any problem. An alternative is to look at how the .spec is constructed. The author might have been nice enough to let you easily disable building the documentation that relies on tetex. If not, it gets more complicated, and is usually easier to just install the package than hunting through the configure/Makefile etc. ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
