Re: fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
Hi again, Many thanks to Alberto Molina for directing me toward the solution for the problem. The issue had come up before with BeOS, and Thomas Esser's suggested solution can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01805.html I followed this and added the following to my cnf.c: #elif defined (_sparc_) #define unix This solved the problem and everything worked nicely thereafter. For those who are interested, I first tried Olaf Weber's suggestion which can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01809.html Perhaps I made a mistake when changing cnf.c, but while ftmutil.cnf was found just fine after that change, the compilation ended with lots of errors. If anyone is interested I can email them a partial log of the errors created.

LUkas, Try having a look at a previous problem I posted---it looks the same to me. Apparently, your system is not detected as UNIX at some points. Thomas Esser gave me a solution. The thread subject was "kpathsea and BeOS". (Sorry, but do not have access to the message text now, so I can not give you the exact solution). Regards, Alberto Molina
Re: fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
Hi, The precise problem also occurs on Sun Solaris 9 for Intel (not Sparc). I have not even had time to track it down in any detail (I just reboot to Linux), but would really like to see a solution. I'll try looking at it tonight, if no one else has any great ideas. I'm using gcc rather than sun compilers, by the way, if that's relevant.

fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
Hi, I am trying to compile and install tetex-2.0.1 on a Sun Sparcstation 20 running Solaris 2.6 (uname -a: SunOS bineshi 5.6 Generic_105181-33 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20) using gcc2.8.1 . I've come across a problem I don't seem to be able to solve myself. Any help would be most appreciated. When issuing 'make world' I get the following error message: == if test -f /local2/teTeX/bin/fmtutil; then \ TEXMFMAIN=/local2/teTeX/share/texmf PATH=/local2/teTeX/bin:/local2/teTeX/bin:usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local:/usr/loc al/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/etc:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/include/X1 1:/usr/ucb \ /local2/teTeX/bin/fmtutil --all; \ else :; fi fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. *** Error code 255 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install' == The file in question does exist at /local2/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c but somehow make doesn't find it. I had a look around and saw that other people have had similar problems. They were solved when they realized that an environment variable (TEXMF) had inadvertently been set. The output of 'env' on my machine (see below) does not suggest the presence of any such environment variable. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Maybe, but in any case there are ample debugging tools available to you before you can decide where the fault lies. I'd start by running texconfig manually. This does some quick sanity checks and might point to the problem right away. If not, you should systematically check that kpathsea is finding things in the right places. Have it print the values of all the relevant variables and look at the debugging logs for various searches. Can you do 'texdoc kpathsea'? -- George White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
