Yes, I really wish I knew what causes this error. I just checked on my laptop running linux (Fedora Core 5), and I get the proper output as well: TeXExec | tex engine path: ./pdfetex TeXExec | mps engine path: . TeXExec | texformat: 27/04/06 15:14:41 > /usr/share/texmf-config/ web2c/pdfetex/cont-nl.fmt Which as as it should be [however, newtexexec --check does not perform alll tests as it should]. On Mac OS X, I get at the end: TeXExec | tex engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/ teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share// share/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//share/texmf-dist/web2c// pdfetex TeXExec | mps engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/ teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share// share/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//share/texmf-dist/web2c I guess that means that it creates, in the working directory, a directory named : and then the other diretories beneath it. What can cause this error? I;m running the same pdfetex version on both (3.141592-1.40.0-beta-20060213-2.2). Could be some config file, could be the different TDS setup on both systems, could be that OS X is case insensitive? Could other people check on their computers as well, that would be helpful.
