Hi Patrick,
Patrick Gundlach
Hello again,
I have tried your small file (the one you have sent me) an a vanilla tetex 3.0 and an older texlive (I had to dig out my iBook -- anybody wants to buy a used iBook?) and both were two runs.
Ah, not so fast, Patrick. I can reproduce your problem:
$ ls -lR .: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 pg pg 136 Mar 2 20:27 PARTS -rw-r--r-- 1 pg pg 117 Mar 2 20:28 TEST.tex
./PARTS: total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 pg pg 40 Mar 2 20:27 ONE.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 pg pg 40 Mar 2 20:27 TWO.tex
(so setup is TEST.tex in all capitals and ONE.tex and TWO.tex in subdir, tetex 3.0). Now I run
texexec --pdf test.tex
(lowercase test.tex !)
and I get:
[...]
utility file analysis : another run needed TeX run : 8
[...]
Note that the standard OS X filesystem is case preserving, but not case sensitive when accessing a file. So accessing test.tex would be happy with a file called TEST.tex. It is possible to create a pure case sensitive HFS+ filesystem, but it isn't necessary to reproduce the problem. (It would probably avoid it, though).

So I made a new setup: new files/folders and every names lowercase (folders, files, references). The first time I executed texexec --pdf test.tex it looked good: 2 runs! Then I executed texexec --pdf test.tex once more and now it was 8 runs again! Does this make sense? Steffen
