Sure, but I suggest to give the user a real TeX by default. If he
wants to change this default, that's his decision...
Agreed (I noted this as the cause of the issue, but don't think we
should change it globally because of this).
Further, he advised to add to the beginning of /usr/bin/makempx
parse_first_line=t
export parse_first_line
to prevent this going wrong for other people.
A better fix was suggested by Olaf Weber:

By the way, I don't think quotes are required there, but do test so
they can be added if necessary.

They're needed on Solaris 2.6.

mpost problem
Hi all, I am one of maintainers of teTeX in Debian and got a bug report on mpost. Please visit http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=179505 And one of our maintainers, Julian, told me that this might be caused by the line in texmf.cnf parse_first_line = f and changing this to: parse_first_line = t would make things work again. Further, he advised to add to the beginning of /usr/bin/makempx parse_first_line=t export parse_first_line to prevent this going wrong for other people. How do you think on this advice? I noticed in ChangeLog that it said Sat Oct 26 21:54:03 CEST 2002 * remove that parse_first_line.mpost line (it does not help) so this might be already discussed in this (or somewhere else) list. If so, very sorry. Best regards, 2003-2-4(Tue) -- Debian Developer Debian JP Developer - much more I18N of Debian Atsuhito Kohda [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Math., Tokushima Univ.
