I have checked. There are both libstdc++5 and libstdc++5-3.3-dev pacakges installed on Debian and locate showed both ".so" and ".a" file, but I figured out that it also has libstdc++6 (which was not installed). How does pdftex building process decide which one to use in case that both are installed?

Taco, what's the state with this particular library dependency? Not 100% sure but I think it should be better now (or at least soon), as Thanh wrote he has updated the build script for pdftex. One thing to remember is that to make pdftex use a static libstdc++, the machine you are compiling pdftex on has to have the static version of libstdc++ installed.

Taco, what's the state with this particular library dependency? There are two problems: - texexec might not always check if pdftex fails and it eats some messages inbetween - library dependency should be fixed >> The libstdc++6 is installed.

When I started using ConTeXt (2004) the average running time for "hello world" documents was definitely somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute. But it has improved dramaticaly over time (3 seconds in the second run as I mentioned) whereas LaTeX runtime has increased. But TeXLive 2007 is not so old after all, so it's still a bit strange. > i dont know if it is of interest for you: > - I switched back to TL2007 (now pdftex finds 'cont-en') > - texexec source.tex compiles 3 min 14 sec for 1 page of pdf > - pdftex -fmt cont-en compiles 1 sec and produces a dvi file Weird. Maybe texexec does some crazy stuff, but it's a bit hard to tell what exactly.
