Re: [Fink-devel] new teTeX

My install went fine (syst-tex was where it was supposed to be) and everything seems to be working. I have tested it out on a document that uses T1 fonts and it renders them correctly, also correctly calls on ghostscript to render included postscript figures. You might want to configure it t

Thomas, This particular problem is caused by fancyhdr.sty, which has changed the way it does footrulewidth (see comments in that file). I think you should replace \setlength{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt} with \def\footrulewideth{0.4pt} I'm not sure this is right, because I haven't been able to TeX

[Fink-devel] Information on KDE startup

2002-06-02 Thread William McCallum
I'm posting this here in case it might be useful to the people working on KDE. The problem with KDE startup that I described earlier (same one Douglas Wing was having) was caused by kdeinit being unhappy about multiple definitions of the variable _name (see the log I posted to fink-users earl

O.K. (duh!), putting the line unset DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE into my .xinitrc file before calling dkeinit (but after sourcing /sw/bin/init.sh) enables me to have a normal KDE startup. Should I post this to fink-users, or is there something dangerous and evil about doing this? Regards,

[Fink-devel] Porting maxima

2002-06-08 Thread William McCallum
I have a stupid question. Needing maxima in order to review a calculus textbook based on it, I found out how to install it from a version in cvs at sourceforge, so I thought I might as well make a fink package. The problem is there doesn't seem to be a tarball for this version. What do I do?
