I had this problem once, I remember submitting a PR claiming teTeX didn't compile. (Actually, I think at the time maybe it *didn't* compile. :-) I never figured out my problem, but at one point for other reasons I completely reinstalled my system from scratch -- reformatted the hard drives, all that. After that, teTeX worked??? I never figured out what the deal was, but apparently I had cleared out some cruft in my tree that wasn't being cleaned up with a "make world". No idea what it was. Brian
