- All the above links are broken because it seems texexec has taken a cruise. It is nowhere to be found on the file system and I'm perplexed. I've googled this a bit, but I'm not a teTeX user and what I'm finding isn't making any sense -- no context. Do I have a broken package? What is the appropriate fix?
pin texexec yealds: ./CD1/suse/i586/tetex-2.0.2-48.i586.rpm
and all your referenced links...

Thank you, Patrick, for a precise and painless reply! I very much appreciate it - Carl Hmmm. On my 9.0 system I have tetex-2.0.2-48.i586 installed and yet I have the same broken links as Carl has. But *my* pin tells me differently:
./CD3/suse/i586/te_cont-2.0.2-48.i586.rpm: -rw-r--r-- root root 93024 Jan 23 2003 /usr/share/texmf/context/perltk/texexec.pl plus all relevant documentation and man files. Texexec is mainly a wrapper, so you could live without it. But if you use tex for a variety of invocations it could come in handy. There's a manual in the same package: /usr/share/texmf/doc/context/base/mtexexec.pdf If you only use latex or pdflatex you don't need it. Best regards, -- Jos van Kan
