TEXMFROOT can be used instead of SELFAUTODIR or SELFAUTOPARENT. This should work in most cases, but if distributors don't set it up properly... > [...] leave it for the distributors. The purpose of TEXMFROOT is to allow distributors to change only one variable in order to adapt the system to their needs. TeX Live from tug.org is a multi-platform distribution and thus sets TEXMFROOT = $SELFAUTOPARENT Linux distributions support only one platform and should set TEXMFROOT = $SELFAUTODIR Regards, Reinhard -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhard Kotucha Phone: +49-511-3373112 Marschnerstr. 25 D-30167 Hannover mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------
