You might report the bug to OpenSUSE. It is possible it's a packaging issue, which of course we don't control. The fact that you could manaually reconfigure means there was probably an earlier reconfiguration that was done at the wrong time: possibly before LaTeX had been installed. > But as an ordinary user I should like to thank you for your advice re > checking the LaTex configuration (which packages are installed = "yes" > or missing = "No"). This will be very useful for future similar accidents! You're welcome. Richard
