I was wondering if anyone has run into this lately and if it is something I am doing wrong...
I have used the 'new' tetex packages of Debian for some time now. I was recently 'forced' to remove X and tex from my machine temporarily. Now I have X back and running, but am having problems getting the tetex packages to install and work. (I have seen at least one other posting describing one of the symptoms I am having.) I start with a 'tex-clean' system. Then I do a dpkg -i tetex-base_0.4pl6-5.deb This seems to work fine. Then I do dpkg -i tetex-bin_0.4pl6-8.deb and things start going wrong. When it tries to configure the package, it produces errors like: >Please set the environment variable TETEXDIR or TEXMFCNF correctly. >For details see the teTeX and the Kpathsea manual >kpsetool: language.dat not found. >kpsetool: modes.mf not found. >kpsetool: texmf.cnf not found. >/usr/bin/texconfig: cd: /web2c: No such file or directory >Error opening terminal: generic. >/usr/bin/texconfig: /tmp/texconf4119/logfile: No such file or directory >Output of initex is in /tmp/texconfig.out >If you want to change the default settings, >use /usr/bin/texconfig to configure teTeX. Running /usr/bin/texconfig produces similar errors. Now, when I go to latex something, I get >This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1) >I can't find the default format file! Which is the symptom reported recently in this mail list. What should I do to get a working latex installation?
