Hi Bo,
with your patch, the error message has gone. Great!
I think someone else should have a look at your patch, too. I don't
really understand the magic that you applied :-)
Thanks,
Michael

That would be my wrong-doing, I do not see this under linux though.
I will have a look at this.
There are actually two problems here:
1. pplatex is returned as the default latex command, and is used to
test latex configurations. This program looks for some dvi file to
postprocess it, and will fail if there is no dvi generated. Because
our latex configuration code does not produce any .dvi file, pplatex
always fails.
2. pplatex returns 256, a nonstandard error code (most OS allows
1-127) in this case. This code is interpreted as failure under
windows, but as success under linux. This is why I did not notice this
problem.
The attached patch use latex to run configuration scripts, and adjust
this 256 return value.
Michael, could you test this patch?
Bo
