Re: Problems with teTeX on FreeBSD 4.7
Thanks for your bug report. Since you have found your work-around and since I am close to release a new version of teTeX, it does not make much sense to try fixing teTeX-1.0.7 in this respect. The current teTeX-beta (which is already close to the next teTeX release) is known to work fine on FreeBSD/i386. If you want to try it yourself, follow the beta versions link on the teTeX homepage (http://tug.org/teTeX/). Thomas i've looked over the list of supported teTeX platforms at the above link, but none of them corresponds to my platform, which is X86/cygwin . do you support the cygwin platform, or are the cygwin people responsible for that? gene

Just a note of encouragement: I built a teTeX beta almost exactly 1 year ago using instructions posted on a Japanese web site (try a search for cygwin tetex beta). There was a minor problem with the generated Makefiles that I fixed manually, but overall the build went smoothly. The reason for building teTeX was to solve a problem one of our students was having with pdftex on a Win95 PC (the install .DLL versions didn't suit either fptex or MikTeX, and she needed to run some lab instrumentation software so it didn't make sense to risk updating DLL's just for pdftex). -- George White [EMAIL PROTECTED] Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
Re: Problems with teTeX on FreeBSD 4.7
Building the most recent teTeX (tetex-src-1.0.7.tar.gz) on our OpenBSD Sparc server proceeded without problems. When I tried to add support for our FreeBSD i386 platforms by mounting the proper directories on the freebsd platform, logging in there and doing: Thanks for your bug report.
