I would even say: don't use it at all. If you really have to, don't put it in a configuration file, at any rate; just set it in the current environment. What do you need it for in Mark II?
I don't need it, I just discovered that /etc/profile in suse-10.3 sets it even without any tex-package installed. Before that, I had been pretty sure, that only TEXMF, TEXMFCNF and TEXMFCACHE were set. But I can imagine, that someone would like to use it, to extend the search in personal folders.
Is there a good place in the wiki, where to put this information?
Installation instructions?
It's also a runtime issue. Try setting TEXINPUTS=somepath, and see what's happening with MKIV. But you're right, since there is no "troubleshooting" page, I'll put it first on "installation instructions". Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
