Works for me....
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/latexconfig/pdflatex.ini ! I can't find file `pdftexconfig.tex'. l.2 \input pdftexconfig.tex ^^^^^ This looks like your problem.
Is this a bug or have I failed to load some package As ever this is running X with fvwm; no KDE, no GNOME
You may want to try a texhash if latex is looking for files that aren't in the local directory. Oh, and e17 here :) -- Evan McClain /* No Comment */ evan.mcclain@gatech.edu
err.... no Did a texhash as root (and as me) and then I get pdflatex anton This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt fmtutil: format directory `/var/lib/texmf/web2c' is not writable.

Hmm, you may be able to rebuild the file with: sudo fmtutil --byfmt pdflatex

I'm synced with factory, but I can't remember there being a problem before. $ rpm -q texlive texlive-2007-175 $ rpm -q texlive-bin texlive-bin-2007-174 $ rpm -q texlive-latex texlive-latex-2007-175 Does \documentclass{article} \begin{document} hello world \end{document} compile? -- Evan McClain /* No Comment */ evan.mcclain@gatech.edu

No that fails as well # fmtutil --byfmt pdflatex fmtutil: running `pdftex -ini -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdflatex.ini' ... warning: Could not open char translation file `cp227.tcx'.

Also Does
\documentclass{article} \begin{document} hello world \end{document}
compile?
No.
