Check: 'inst/': is that just a dir relative to the './Build' ?

Yeah, but if you're just './Build'ing and not installing, then ymmv as to 
whether stuff will get located properly. And of course, "can't find" !== 
"doesn't exist"  . Again, are there any 'latex.fmt' objects in the 
filesystem:
$ find -P / -iname 'latex.fmt' -ls


Also what d'you get from:
$ find -P / \( -iname 'kpsewhich' -o -iname 'kpathsea' \) -ls



rgds,
