Hi,

When I launch texexec --pdf ....., it runs several times (6 or 7) before
ending with the following message .... :

"utility file analysis : another run needed"

The pdf seems to be correct but it takes long to be generated .....

Any idea of the problem ?

it looks like you have some oscillation going on; one way to find out is


texexec --pdf yourfile
copy yourfile.tuo yourfile-old.tuo texexec --pdf yourfile --once texutil --ref yourfile


diff yourfile-old.tuo yourfile.tuo

it should show differences

oscillation can take place when decisions are made based on previous runs (but only in tricky situations where the multi pass info gets loose from the target); it's one reason why there will never be real automated high quality typesetting -)
