[05:00:24 heblatex]$ grep -A2 'override TEXMF' /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf % You can set an environment variable to override TEXMF if you're testing % a new TeX tree, without changing anything else. % [05:00:32 heblatex]$
Indeed I need to override TEXMF, or that is what I think: [05:00:32 heblatex]$ TEXMF=/var/lib/texmf/:./:../hebfonts/ elatex hebrew.dtx This is e-TeX, Version 3.14159-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.1) I can't find the format file `elatex.efmt'! [05:01:43 heblatex]$ But it is there: [05:01:43 heblatex]$ locate elatex.efmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/elatex.efmt /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfelatex.efmt [05:02:18 heblatex]$ and: [05:02:53 heblatex]$ grep 'elatex.efmt' /var/lib/texmf/ls-R elatex.efmt pdfelatex.efmt [05:03:16 heblatex]$ Obviously I am doing something wrong, but I can not see that.
