Doing "export CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash" is usually enough, as it forces using bash (no idea why this isn't the default.)
Yep, that worked. Thank you very much. I spent about half an hour trying to figure out how to change the shell before I saw your e-mail.
Now to the next question.
The INSTALL file says:
"Post-compilation installation should be a simple matter of copying the executable to a normal place for web2c binaries and generating the desired formats."
This might as well say "... should be a simple matter of executing black magic that you will know if you already know it" :-)
Would anyone care to elaborate on the instructions so that a mere mortal can accomplish this? [I vaguely recall something about generating a format file somewhere around 1984. Ampersands played a part, I think. I'm rambling.]
I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious that I should already know.
i suggest that you download tex live and consult its manual; generating formats and putting them in the right spot depends on what macro package you use in combination with some distribution in that case it might be a good idea to start with pdftex etc as that has een integrated in distributions for ages (that kind of support is a bit beyond this list) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
