So I set KPATHSEA_DEBUG="-1", and ran
xdvi a >& xdvi-out &
I put xdvi-out on the web as
http://moni.msci.memphis.edu/~mw/xdvi-out.txt
I see the weird
kdebug:Search path for vf files (from texmf.cnf)
kdebug: =
.:/home/mw/texmf/fonts/vf//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/bin/texmf.local/fonts/vf//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/bin/texmf/fonts/vf//
This is puzzling since texconfig confall has
kdebug:Search path for vf files (from texmf.cnf)
kdebug: =
.:/home/mw/texmf/fonts/vf//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.local/fonts/vf//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/texmf/fonts/vf//
One more thing from `texconfig confall'
kdebug:Search path for cnf files (from compile-time paths.h)
kdebug: =
/usr/local/teTeX/bin:/usr/local/teTeX:/usr/local:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/share/texmf.local/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c:/usr/local/share/texmf.local/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/texmf.local/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.local/web2c:/usr/local/texmf.local/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/texmf/web2c::/usr/local/teTeX/texmf/web2c:/usr/local/teTeX/texmf/web2c
Do all these `bin' components look normal?
I get
$ grep bin /usr/local/teTeX/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
% a program that uses the 'other text files' or 'other binary files'
This is it.
Finally, these are my installation notes:
Unpack, compile:
mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/texmf
tar zxvfp teTeX-texmf-1.0.tar.gz -C /usr/local/teTeX/texmf
tar zxvf teTeX-src-1.0.tar.gz
cd teTeX-1.0
Edit texk/kpathsea/texmf.in and
texk/kpathsea/mktex.cnf:
: ${MT_FEATURES=appendonlydir:varfonts}
: ${MODE=ljfivemp}
./configure --disable-multiplatform
sh -c 'make world >world.log 2>&1' &
Thx for any suggestions,
