Hi,

I've been playing with Jade 1.0 (from the ports system) and teTeX 0.4
(also from the ports system) in an effort to use Jade's tex backend to
generate .tex files I can then process to produce postscript.

I followed from instructions from the DSSSL mailing list archives
(URL: http://www.sil.org/sgml/jadeTexHints.html)

which failed. The instructions were

   1. get jadetex macros
   2. tex jadetex.ins %writes jadetex.ltx)
   3. tex -ini \&latex jadetex.ltx '\dump'
   4. tex \&jadetex foo.tex  % where jade wrote foo.tex
   5. dvips foo -o foo.ps

Step 3 fails because (according to Sebastian Rahtz)

  > your Web2c TeX is not the most recent. where i say `tex -ini' you
  > should say `initex'

So replacing step 3 with

   3. initex \&latex jadetex.ltx '\dump'

works (modulo some problems with missing fonts).

Step 4 now fails with the message

    % tex \&jadetex filename.tex
    This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1)
    (filename.tex
    LaTeX2e <1996/12/01> patch level 1
    Babel <v3.6h> and hyphenation patterns for american, german, loaded.

    ! LaTeX Error: File `hyperref.sty' not found.

Before I decide to wade in and install TeX by hand rather than relying
on the ports system, I was wondering if anyone else had bumped into this
and had canned instructions for fixing it?

Cheers,

N
