building formats under MikTeX

building formats under MikTeX

[Matthew Huggett]

Hello All:

When I run texexec --make to (re)build my formats (under MikTeX), 
texexec reports that it can't read TEX.POOL and MP.POOL .  Then a 
window's dialog box reports that pdfetex has crapped out.   Any any ideas?

Thanks and best wishes,

Matt

Yes, I have the files, but kpsewhich can't find them unless it's 
actually run from the directory containing the files!  I've updated the 
databases but that doesn't help either.  Also, when I process a tex 
file, pdfetex can't find/open pdftex.cfg .

Check your path to see if the bin directory of Miktex in on your path.
