Perhaps I don't need it, but I'm not sure. I am unfamiliar with the specific differences between plain TeX and the LaTeX2e macros. I use Miktex on my windows box and have always used LaTeX reference materials for composing my documents. LaTeX used to be installed on this BSD box and I don't recall having any problems back then (it was installed as a part of print/lilypond). Well, now that I look through lilypond's Makefile, it appears that latex is a part of print/teTeX? *is a little confused* I will try installing that instead. What are the differences between print/latex and print/teTeX? Why are there two ports? Thanks for your help! Aaron
