I can't find file `pdftexconfig.tex'. l.2 \input pdftexconfig.tex IMHO you're miussing some packages: /suse/werner> rpm -qf /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex texlive-2007-175 /suse/werner> rpm -qf /usr/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex texlive-2007-175 /suse/werner> kpsewhere pdflatex.fmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt /suse/werner> kpsewhere pdftexconfig.tex /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex /usr/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex Please install texlive-bin, texlive, texlive-bin-latex, and texlive-latex. Report if this works for your, this because I'm *not* able tpo reproduce this behaviour if the installer (YaST/zypper) had fulfilled all dependcies. Before using pdflatex please ensure that no other TeX installation nor any environment variables destroy the configuration found in /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
