I used 'Example A-1' (DocBook ) as the content for my file, and converted to tex as indicated in 'Example A-5'. Finally, I attempted to convert it to pdf and the following happened: % tex "&pdfjadetex" firstbook.tex This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) I'm running release 4.3 and i did a cvsup before installing the docproj files. While compiling i ran out of room on my /usr partition, so that files that had not been installed were installed through the packets system: jadetex, links, netpbm, peps, sp. They were downloaded from current. This is a pkg_info listing of the files that could be relevent (i left the others out of this listing but they are installed): docbook-241 docbook-3.0 docbook-3.1 docbook-4.0 docbook-4.1 dsssl-docbook-modular-1.71 iso8879-1986 jade-1.2.1_1 jadetex-3.6 mkcatalog-1.1 sgmlformat-1.7 sp-1.3.4 teTeX-1.0.7 pdfjadetex files are present in these two places: /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/pdfjadetex.fmt /usr/local/share/sgml/jade/pdfjadetex.ini Oh, converting to Postscript works fine. Any way to fix this problem? thanks, -S- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
