Hi Folks:
Apologies in advance if this turns out to be a latex issue rather
than a fink-specific one.
I've been using Latex to typeset chemical formulae. While in the
middle of writing a final exam, I decided to update fink, and Tetex
was updated to 3.0
Now I am no longer able to typeset chemical equations. Normal math
equations still work, but I encounter an error when using the
following preamble with the last two directives:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper}
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
\usepackage {chemarr}
\usepackage {pictex}
\usepackage {m-ch-en}
Here's the error:
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/parskip/parskip.sty)
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/oberdiek/chemarr.sty
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsmath.sty
For additional information on amsmath, use the `?' option.
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amstext.sty
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsgen.sty))
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsbsy.sty)
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsopn.sty)))
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pictex/pictex.sty
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pictex/prepictex.tex)
(/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pictex/pictex.tex)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...\else \errmessage {No room for a new #3}
\fi

\newdimen\!!deptha
?
The documentation in /sw/share/texmf-dist/doc/context/ppchtex/mp-ch-
en.pdf states
"The file m-pictex takes care of an efficient loading of PICTEX. This
is necessary because
LATEX allocates a lot of \dimens. Because of the userinterface a big
version of TEX is needed
to run PPCHTEX. "
I have no idea what "a big version of TEX" means, but this worked in
the 2.x version and not the current one. Is there something I can do
as a user, or do I need to change something and recompile?
Thanks.
