Dear teTeX Community, Short Version: I suspect that there is a problem with the pdftex in the teTeX 1.0 binary distribution for PPC AIX 4.2. As evidence, I offer the output from # fmtutil --byfmt pdflatex /usr/local/bin/fmtutil: 28916 Memory fault: A memory image file is created as "core". fmtutil: `pdftex -ini -fmt=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex pdflatex.ini' failed. This was repeated for all the pdf* formats. Could someone please help me to fix this problem?? (I suspect that it could be related to the problem previously experienced by Marc Dongen, so I cc:ed you Marc. Hope you don't mind.) (Very) Long Version:: Today I tried to install teTeX 1.0, but I had some problems. The machine that I tried to install it on is a PowerPC 604e 375MHz machine running AIX 4.3.3. I used the form at http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/search/tetex.html to decide what files I needed. I chose the binary distribution for AIX 4.2 or later on PPC, and manually chose the sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de download site. (I'm in Sweden.) I downloaded everything that the form suggested. I used the install script, rather than installing manually. I chose to put symlinks into /usr/local/bin etc., and I also chose to put the fonts and the /var stuff in an odd location. (See below.) The install script did not report any errors. I then used texconfig interactively to modify the site settings. The first thing I changed was the language.dat file for hyphenation, so that British english was made available, and also Swedish is available. I moved the definition of "english" to be in front of British english, as follows:: % The US-english patterns should be loaded *always* and as *first* ones. % Define USenglish as an alias for american. american ushyph1.tex =USenglish % english should always be defined. Either an alias for american or british. =english % UK english, TWO LINES! british ukhyphen.tex =UKenglish ========================================================== I figured that since the british definition was originally commented out, this ought to be semantically the same. I did not modify the fmtutil.cnf file. I then moved on to setting up xdvi and dvips, but neither of these worked. Investigation showed that I had NO .fmt files. I read a few more lines of documentation, and decided that # texconfig init ought to fix my problem.

I read a little bit more after that, and decided that # fmtutil --all ought to fix my problems. It didn't. I won't copy the output, because it's very similar to the output from texconfig init I then decided to try and process the .ini files one at a time. I did them in the order in which they appear in the fmtutil.cnf file. (Which I did not modify.) For example # fmtutil --byfmt latex worked, as did all of them until I got to the pdf* formats. (Evidence of working was the final line of output, fmtutil: /usr/local/share/local_fonts/variables/web2c/latex.fmt successfully generated. plus the fact that the latex.fmt really existed and was now found.) As noted above, # fmtutil --byfmt pdflatex resulted in /usr/local/bin/fmtutil: 28916 Memory fault: A memory image file is created as "core". fmtutil: `pdftex -ini -fmt=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex pdflatex.ini' failed. which doesn't look right to me.

In order to help identify the problem, I executed # kpsewhich -progname=pdflatex pdflatex.ini which produced /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/pdftex/latex/config/pdflatex.ini which is correct, in as much as a short file with that name exists.

=========================================================================== ============= which looks OK. The only other thing I can think of is to attach texmf.cnf to this mail, but it's long and I did not modify it at all, so I won't do that. So, I hope that I've included enough information to allow you clever people to deduce what is going wrong. If you think that the solution is to recompile pdftex with a patch, I have gcc 2.95.2, and would be willing to upload the resulting binary if you wanted it. I can also do other small debugging tasks, if it would lead to a faster resolution of this problem. Thanks for your patience. (You deserve thanks if you made it to here.) Regards, Peter Dulimov.
