Nelson" To: Alan Krantz cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problems with tex under 2.2.1 (cdrom) In-Reply-To: <199705080919.FAA10961@pdoc1.mathcs.emory.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk You may have a mixture of teTeX and the other TeX packages. That will cause all sorts of strange things. My suggestion (this is what I did to clean up my own goof) is to deinstall _ALL_ TeX distributions and install _either_ teTeX, or all the other TeX distributions. I like the teTeX distribution, myself. It's far easier to manage than the traditional TeX installation. -- Jay On Thu, 8 May 1997, Alan Krantz wrote: -> ->I'm having a number of problems with tex/latex.
