Uhm... I'm getting a little bit confused here. Linking the kpathsea library is exactly what I do with PyX, I don't have tetex-dev installed (only system-tetex) and I've not seen any problem during compiling and installing process. Could you explain this a little further?

Thanks,
        Andrea.

Martin,

It is not an omission that system-tetex does not provide tetex-dev.

One of the differences between Gerben Wierda's teTeX distribution and the
fink one is that in fink, we build libkpathsea as a shared library, whereas
it is only a static library in Wierda's distribution.


(This may change with the forthcoming teTeX 3.0, since shared libraries
will become the default, and Wierda almost always uses the defaults.)

As a consequence, if you want to compile another piece of software which
links the kpathsea library, you either need to force it to link the static
version, or else have "BuildDepends: tetex-dev" and "Depends: tetex-shlibs".


However, if the kpathsea library is not being linked in, there is no
reason for any dependency on tetex-dev.
