yes, you need to change SELFAUTOPARENT to the actual path to texlive installation dir, too. What I gave in my previous was rather an example on how you can set TEXMFCNF to an explicit location. But this discussion belongs to texlive list, does it? Thanh On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 09:11:44PM +0300, Vasile Gaburici wrote:

There's no web2c under texmf-dist. The texmf.cnf from 2008/texmf/web2c does get loaded, it just doesn't work properly, probably due the $SELFAUTOPARENT business. The one that Fedora provides has hardcoded paths.

export TEXMFCNF=/fc5/tl/2008/texmf/web2c

Possibly TEXMFCNF=/fc5/tl/2008/texmf-dist/web2c ?
