Martin: installing tetex from the bindist has never been possible, and has given users trouble for a long time. I admit that things got suddenly worse when CTAN stopped distributing the tetex-texmf sourcefile, but at Fink we'll be in a similar situation any time a Restrictive package has its source pulled from public view. I've been trying to get a new bindist out ever since this happened, which will not only cure the current bad situation but will also allow a binary install of teTeX via Fink for the first time ever. As you may know, the progress here was slowed by two other things: the libpng3 problem, and the unfortunate "index grows to infinity" problem in fink-0.12.0-1. These have both now been solved, and once everything moves to stable within a week or so, I can make a new bindist. I hope that your TeXMacs folks can be patient (or can use GW's distro) until then. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
