From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1 Description of problem: When running texi2dvi, an error message is displayed indicating that it needs a working 'tex' binary installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1./usr/bin/texi2dvi -o blah.dvi blah 2. 3. Actual Results: Error message explaining that 'tex' is not found Expected Results: Should have processed file and created dvi file Additional info: texinfo should have a requires for tetex since the texi2dvi script depends upon the presence of a tex binary. Also (probably another bug), the error message refers to apt-get and the package tetex-bin rather than tetex which will probably confuse people. Error message: $ /usr/bin/texi2dvi -o blah.dvi blah You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --help output for more details. For information about obtaining TeX, please see http://www.tug.org. If you happen to be using Debian, you can get it with this command: apt-get install tetex-bin
