Description Joshua Buysse 2005-10-03 15:36:42 UTC

Description of problem:
Attempting to rebuild (rpmbuild -ba tetex.spec or rpmbuild --rebuild ...) fails on FC4.  I cannot 
reproduce the build.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0-4 and 3.0-6

How reproducible:
100% on three different systems.

Actual results:
[end of rpmbuild output]
TEXMFCNF=. make progname=platex files="platex.ltx" prereq-check
make[1]: Entering directory `/amd_mnt/export/x6f9ds6/home/ssrf/buysse/rpm/BUILD/tetex-src-3.0/
texk/web2c/ptex-src-3.1.8.1'
make[1]: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 9.6e+02 s in the future
TEXMFCNF=. ../../kpathsea/kpsewhich --progname=platex platex.ltx >/dev/null || make prereq-lose

You seem to be missing input files necessary to make the
basic formats (some or all of: platex.ltx).
Perhaps you've defined the default paths incorrectly, or
perhaps you have environment variables set pointing
to an incorrect location.  See ../kpathsea/BUGS.

If you simply do not have the files, you can
retrieve a minimal set of input files from
ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/lib.tar.gz, mirrored on
CTAN hosts in systems/web2c.

Comment 1 Jindrich Novy 2005-10-07 16:18:19 UTC

The described problem isn't caused by a bad tetex package (when the build would
fail on any of the FC4 platforms, it wouldn't be included into FC4 updates).
Please check your system time on the machine you try to rebuild teTeX and the
latest "make" is installed.
