at this point I thought I had best stop stumbling around and ask for help. My base system is Slackware LInux 10.0.
There should be a package named "ruby" or similar on Slackware, and that has to be installed. Cheers, Peter
Well I installed Ruby and got to the next problem. I went back to step 1: setuptex . ...followed by texexec --make --alone
--- ! I can't read pdfetex.pool; bad path? ! I can't read pdfetex.pool; bad path? ! I can't read mp.pool; bad path? ! I can't read pdfetex.pool; bad path? ---- So now I have a path problem. The set command shows the path as:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/tex/texmf-linux /bin: /opt/www/htdig/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/us r/lib/qt/bin:.
What path items do I need, beyond :/usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/bin?
Thanks for your help.
Referring to the path problem, I went through all kinds of set PATH gyrations and modifications to /etc/profile but with no success. So finally I copied the two necessary pool files up to /usr/local/tex and ran through the cycle once again. That worked, but it is obviously a crude kludge and not a correct solution. I will at some point write a list of what I had to do to make the minimal Linux-TeX package work and submit it to Hans as a howto and/or a todo list. Anyhow it works currently and the infamous hyphenation problem is no more. -- John Culleton
