I want to flag this problem with teTeX. Often there building documents fails as in these examples: -------------------------------------------------- pdftex tex-ref.tex This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a (Web2C 7.5.4) file:line:error style messages enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)pdftex tex-ref.tex This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a (Web2C 7.5.4) file:line:error style messages enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) --------------------------------------------------
OR ------------------------------------------------- TEXINPUTS="/home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin_varie/emacs-cvs/Build-1/Build-2/emacs/man:" MAKEINFO="makeinfo --force -I/home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin_varie/emacs-cvs/Build-1/Build-2/emacs/man" texi2dvi /home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin_varie/emacs-cvs/Build-1/Build-2/emacs/man/emacs.texi This is e-TeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) file:line:error style messages enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. ---! /var/lib/texmf/web2c/etex.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) /usr/bin/texi2dvi: texinfo.tex appears to be broken, quitting. ------------------------------------------------- and similar. I have searched the list and Google finding the solutions suggested in: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00130.html http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22tetex+3.0.0-3+format+file+problem%22&hl=en http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00963.html http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/fatal-format-file-error.html http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=formatstymy but they do not solve it. I have also tried uninstalling all teTeX packages, removing all 'texmf' directory that uninstall does not remove and then reinstalling the tetex packages, but the problem is still there.
