Hi you guys, I have Miktex installed( in C:\Program Files), and am trying to invoke Latex.exe from Shell and got some trouble. Heres what I did : 1. make a soft link by: ln -s 'C:\Program Files\texmf\miktex\bin\latex.exe' /usr/local/bin 2. run latex: latex myfile.tex Then I got the following error message: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 333: /texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!
but I do have C:\Program Files\localtexmf\miktex\fmt\latex.efmt And I am sure that the Miktex works fine for other editor like WinEdt. I really get stuck, and need help. thanks a lot in advance. best, tong -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
