I ran into a problem similar to the one mentioned in the file PROBLEMS: I got the runtime error message putbyte(255) failed both from gftopk and mf-nowin. Recompilation without optimization fixed the problem:
(cd texk/web2c; rm -f gftopk.o mf2.o; make CFLAGS=) $ uname -a SunOS knatte.nada.kth.se 5.8 Generic_108528-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2 $ gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.2.1 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I tried to compile with Sun Workshop 6.0 but got a linking error somewhere in pdftex. Is this a known problem? /Lars -- Lars Engebretsen, PhD, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
