Hello

I do still have xdvipdfmx, and it should be found in my path environment. Not sure what is wrong, but I will embrace the opportunity to update my TeXLive installation (fingers crossed!).

Thanks very much for taking an interest - it's slightly unnerving to be forced into the situation, but I should have kept my XeTeX installation up to date anyway so the outcome ought to be a positive one. (I'm neurotic about backing up data files but don't have anything to set up to clone my entire system, I'm afraid - but I think that that can sometimes lead to a reimportation of elements that had started to cause trouble and conflicts. I do have the 2010 distro on a small computer, which will compile files if I get stuck.)

Best wishes


John

I will investigate, but may have to reinstall (or install an updated version, which I guess I ought to as 2009 seems a long way off now).

Instead of trying to install a newer xdvipdfmx (then this binary certainly won't work because it would search its resources outside of TL '09), you could update to a TL '13 pre-release…

TL Manager isn't working either so it looks as if something rather nasty has happened!

Does it see backups of the TL packages? Do you have made backups of your system? Why not? A TL '09 manager does not work with any other release than TL '09. And this release should still be available in the historic branch of CTAN.
