Hi there!

I'm trying to get LaTeX and friends working. I've used it before when I
used Linux and wants to use it in FreeBSD2.2 aswell. I have the following
packages installed:

teTeX-0.4
tex-3.14159
latex2e-96.12
ghostscript-4.03
pkfonts118-1.0

and when I do "latex file.tex" it responds:

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

What is wrong? Do I really need both teTeX and those other packages? Looks
a bit big to me.

Mvh: Tommy
