Could you cut and paste the exact error message?
You could try: cd /usr/TeX; chmod -R a+r . # Make sure every file is readable find . -type d | xargs chmod a+x # Make sure every directory is excutable
And when I run texexec as root from a command line, then I get Can you try to do: texhash fmtutil --all texhash
It might work, otherwise I have spontaneously no idea.
You might also check that the files that are supposed to run have read and execute permissions for everyone. -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/
