Hi Mojca,
Thanks for your two answers. I guess updating my distribution is the
first priority--perhaps that is causing all the errors I just posted
in answer to Wolfgang's suggestion.
I'll try your suggestion and then see if it works, will confirm to the
mailing list once I know.
Thanks
Roland
PS Is it always necessary to upgrade a fresh distribution immediately?
I am a bit surprised that a fresh MacTex from December would already
be so outdated...
