assigned to jbj I assume that this is the rpm bug removing shared files between different packages, so this might be already fixed by an upgarde to a newer rpm. This problem is quite serious. Redhat basically does not have a working tetex at the moment, at least from Redhat 6.0 on. The font problem mentioned here occurs in even simple Latex files - it can't even build cmr10. I have reproduced this bug on my up-to-date Redhat 6.0 machine by removing all tetex installed packages, installing rawhide tetex 1.0.5 using rpm 3.0.2, running "fmtutil --all" to work around a tetex package bug, then running "latex broken.tex" on http://nelson.www.media.mit.edu/people/nelson/tmp/tetex-bug/broken.tex, then running "xdvi broken.dvi" or "dvips broken.dvi". The error log is $ dvips -f < broken.dvi > /dev/null This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 1999.07.31:1618' -> kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 cmr10 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 600; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1+0/600; nonstopmode; input cmr10 This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.1) I can't find the base file `mf.base'! grep: cmr10.log: No such file or directory mktexpk: `mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1+0/600; nonstopmode; input cmr10' failed to make cmr10.600pk. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. dvips: Font cmr10 not found, characters will be left blank. <texc.pro>. [1] something is seriously wrong with tetex-1.0.5 fonts. Fixed (displays broken.tex correctly) in tetex-1.0.6-1. Presumably the increase in poolsizes for jadtex fix the first problem also. Dave, you can find tetex-1.0.6 in playpen. What's the name of the French file in Babel that has licensing problems? The file to remove is french.sty - it is probably already removed if you are getting the new TeX from CTAN as they already have it out of the TeX dist. Our problem is that we need to make sure jadetex does not try to call it. We shipped jadetex in Powertools and we may ship it on 6.1 |
