[9fans] kertex on Plan 9

[Mark van Atten]

Could anyone who actually got (not tex, but) latex running using
kertex on Plan 9 show the full details? What I have found on the web
so far has not been enough for this novice.

Plain tex works wonderfully. Thanks, Thierry Laronde!

Mark.

I'm not a LaTeX user, but I'd like to know if the difficulties are
related to the use of LaTeX---on whatever OS---or of some peculiarities
of kerTeX on Plan9.

What does not work?

Best,

My previous message appeared on the list with a delay; in the
meantime, in an off-list exchange, Thierry kindly worked on it
immediately and resolved all the problems. The version that now
appears on the Kertex web page works for me. I use 9vx on FreeBSD 8.2.

I also compiled Kertex successfully on FreeBSD 8.2 itself, but I had
to use clang instead of gcc; the latter had kept complaining about an
unexpected dependency on libgcc_s.so.1

Best wishes,
Mark.
