Just download the latest version from i.e. http://www.dante.de The
installation is quite easy. Just replace the old files
If you want to build pdftex from sources you have to do the following
steps:
- for versions older than 10 Sept 2000:
- download tetex-supp.tgz from
ftp://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex
and unpack it somewhere, let's say to /tmp
- download the latest pdftexsrc-<date>.tgz (avaiable from the same
location) and unpack it to /tmp/src/texk/web2c. After unpacking you
should have pdftex source files located in directories
/tmp/src/texk/web2c/pdftexdir and /tmp/src/texk/web2c/pdftexdir
- version 10 Sept 2000 and newer have all files needed to compile pdftex
in one .tgz file pdftex-<date>.tgz. Unpack this file to /tmp
- cd to /tmp/src/ and run
configure
cd texk/web2c
make pdftexbin
- the binaries and pool files after building will be located in the
directory /tmp/src/texk/web2c
