I unzip the distribution and run mktexlsr to update my private ls-R database, but when I run `texexec --make', though it loads things from my private tree, when texexec tries to write it complains that: rm: cannot unlink `/opt/TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-de.log': Permission denied mv: cannot create regular file `/opt/TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-de.log': Permission denied rm: cannot unlink `/opt/TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-de.efmt': Permission denied mv: cannot create regular file `/opt/TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-de.efmt': Permission denied /opt/TeX/texmf/web2c/mktexupd: /opt/TeX/texmf/ls-R unwritable. This is true, but how do I convince texexec to write in my private and not the system texmf tree? An alternative is to run `pdfetex -ini -efmt=cont-en -progname=context cont-en.ini' for each format, but I suspect I am missing something. Any suggestions? Cheers, Michael -- Michael A.
