Hi,
I just fixed some nasty bugs in texlua wrappers for ppower4 and
pdfthumb which are under texmf-dist/scripts in TeX Live.
There are no problems on Windows: When I type "ppower4 --help", I get
PPower4 [-v|-n|-h|-V|--verbose=<n>|--nocompress|--help|--version] infile
outfile
On Unix, however, I get a warning message:
warning: kpathsea: configuration file texmf.cnf not found in these
directories: [...]
Here is [...] with colons replaced my linebraeks:
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/ppower4
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist

/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/texmf/web2c
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/texmf/web2c
...and pp4p.jar is obviously not found, Java then prints its own usage
message.
It seems that texmf.cnf is searched in texmf-dist only, but how can
this happen? Strange enough, everything works fine on Windows.
I can strip down the texlua script:
------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env texlua
if os.type == 'windows' then
kpse.set_program_name('ppower4.exe', 'ppower4')
else
kpse.set_program_name('ppower4')
end
jarfile=kpse.find_file('pp4p.jar', 'texmfscripts')
print (jarfile)
------------------------------------------------------------------
On Windows it returns /path/to/pp4p.jar, on Unix it returns "nil".
The command
kpsewhich -format=texmfscripts pp4p.jar
returns the correct path on both, Unix and Windows. Hence, I think
it's a LuaTeX problem.
I don't think that fixing this problem is urgent. It's definitely not
worthwhile to delay a TeX Live release.
Karl, I can provide a simple solution for the time being: Because what
we have in TeX Live already works as expected on Windows, we only need
a solution for Unix. I could simply copy the shell scripts we had in
TeX Live 2005 to texmf-dist/scripts/ppower4 and adapt the symlinks
accordingly. Then everything works on all platforms. What do you
think?
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
