Doesn't work on my machine The file resides in /var/lib/texmf/web2c - so I must give: TEXMFCNF=/var/lib/texmf/web2c - correct? and starting then i.e. pdftex  -kpathsea-debug=255 -ini -fmt=cont-en cont-en brings me the same error. Whats wrong then? What don't you like - the binaries? I'm using *ix just for a couple of months so I don't succed usually when trying to compile some packages... (maybe those ones where too difficult to set up) Greetings Axel -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net
