I think this means to install teTeX into a directory of its own. I.e. Not
to install it directly into /usr/local where it shares /usr/local/bin
whith other packgaes, but some directory like /usr/local/teTeX which is
exclusively used by

Which means that the ksh does not execute the trap at all. Obviously,

I guess that file searching is the cause. Please, compare the search paths

Is the texmf tarball installed correctly in $TEXMFMAIN?
The terminfo entry sould be in texmf/texconfig/g/generic.

I don't consider "correcting" end-of-line markers a modification of

Interesting, but IMHO texdoc should do the decompression and not assume
that the viewer does this. ghostview doesn't. acroread dosn't (compressing

That compiler is known to produce wrong code. Better avoid gcc 2.95 and

It works for me. How does your PATH look like? How does the TEXMFMAIN

Hi,
I have updated the stable version of teTeX:
- the sources are updated from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7
- the texmf area is updated from 1.0 to 1.0.1
The 1.0.7 sources are mainly the same as the 1.0.6 sources; changes
affect a few scripts and files that get installed into the texmf tree.

Well, the reason is that fontimport uses mktexnam (texmf/web2c/mktexnam)
to find the "right" texmf tree for the font. The "right" texmf tree is
the one where the sources (or other metrics) of the font can be found.
