Thanks.
* You should be doing all I've added a bit of the installation as root, and therefore it should be in the folder /root, since that is root's home directoryextra explanation. [[User:Taco|Taco]] : I didn't read that section on the page, but on OS X for example, root's home is at /var/root (which is not really relevant, since on OS X nobody ever uses that) --[[User:Patrick Gundlach|pg]] == Can't locate .texmf-var folder == Thanks for the answer <b>pg</b> but I did perform the installation as root and looked in the /root folder but there was no folder named <tt>.texmf-var</tt>. What is this folder supposed to contain exactly? I hope these questions do not seem too stupid for words :) Thanks [[User:Mark.pearson|Mark Pearson]] : sorry Mark for the confusion, my remark was an addition meant for Taco. --[[User:Patrick Gundlach|pg]] Sorry pg, my mistake, my reply was aimed at Taco but I didn't see his signature the first time. :Mark,13:If you did the standard teTeX install as outlined on this page, then, after the <tt>texexec --make</tt>, the directory <tt>/root/.texmf-var/web2c/</tt> (and its subfolder <tt>pdfetex</tt>) contains the generated formats. If this is not the case, then your system simply does not match what I described (and assumed) on this Wiki page. In that case00, perhaps we should continue this discussion on the mailing list 7 Sep 2005 (easier to have a dialog thereUTC). :You should check the 'used engineformatpath' message from <tt>texexec</tt>. Mine said: used engineformatpath : /root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex/ :--[[User:Taco|Taco]]
