This is similar to problems already posted to the fink-users list, but I
have not seen a suitable answer. This problem is the old "You don't have
a valid teTeX installation; you are missing /usr/local/teTeX/..." and it
goes on to complain about no lib/ subdirectory and in particular no
kpathsea directory. I am getting this message on a MacOSX system (10.4).
I used i-Installer to put teTeX on my system. II2 worked great, and it
installed TeX (i.e. teTeX and friends) into /usr/local/teTeX/ and
/usr/local/teTeX/{bin,share} have all that I want and need. I can latex
and view to my heart's content with TS, iTM, and/or the command line.
As a final touch, I just wanted to inform fink that I had a nice teTeX
installation and that it should be as happy as I am. But no-o-o, ... it
goes around and checks for files and is unhappy that kpathsea is not on my
system.
Kpathsea is just a happy little utility for doing directory searches; it
is certainly not required for running TeX. I suspect that fink is
assuming that any "valid teTeX installation" would include kpathsea, and
that the TeX i-package thinks otherwise. (By the way, I DO think kpathsea
is a wonderful utility!)
My problem: I don't know who can fix this Fink faux pas. For myself, I
am just going to skip the final touch of running "sudo fink install
system-tetex" and make myself a mental note that teTeX is indeed already
installed.
