Hello, I installed various packages (including latex3 ) from texlive2005 into my tetex-3.04 + system in FC4. The system is broken. Latex cannot find fmtutil.cnf. Tex does not work either. I tried
rpm -i --replacepkgs tetex* It could not solve it. Is it sufficient to change the kpathsea variables alone ? Best solution please. Thanks A. Mani Member, Cal. Math.
