It should. Which main_memory* variables did you change in /etc/tex/texmf.cnf? All the SuSEconfig script does (that's relevant to this) is run 'texconfig init'

Based on what I am reading in the docbook-apps mailinglist setting passivetex is a pain in the neck process but most of the problems other people complain about their jadetex and pdfjadetex do not exist on my system ( guess I am using SuSE and that makes a difference :-) ). I have used the passivetex and xmltex rpms from 7.3 to be used in my 7.2 system and based on the texmf configuration from the latest TeX Live CD I have the following part added to my /etc/texmf.cnf. I have tried to change the relative parts also without the xmltex and pdfxmltex suffixes ie. main_memory =1500000 but that fails also. So somewhere I am missing something that I do not see. So here is the added parts. % taken from TeXLive CD xmltex and pdfxmltex part TEXINPUTS.xmltex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{xmltex,latex,generic,}// TEXINPUTS.pdfxmltex = .;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/{xmltex,latex,generic,}// % for xmltex and pdfxmltex taken from TeX Live CD TEXPSHEADERS.pdfxmltex = .;$TEXMF/{dvips,pdftex,tex,fonts/type1}// % These are taken from TeX Live CD for xmltex and pdfxmltex main_memory.xmltex = 1500000 param_size.xmltex = 1500 stack_size.xmltex = 1500 hash_extra.xmltex = 50000 string_vacancies.xmltex = 45000 pool_free.xmltex = 47500 nest_size.xmltex = 500 save_size.xmltex = 10000 pool_size.xmltex = 500000 max_strings.xmltex = 55000 % These are pdfxmltex specific main_memory.pdfxmltex = 2500000 param_size.pdfxmltex = 1500 stack_size.pdfxmltex = 1500 hash_extra.pdfxmltex = 50000 string_vacancies.pdfxmltex = 45000 pool_free.pdfxmltex = 47500 nest_size.pdfxmltex = 500 save_size.pdfxmltex = 10000 pool_size.pdfxmltex = 500000 max_strings.pdfxmltex = 55000 -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
