I will remove these two lines from the wiki page as well. >> cp -f build/texk/web2c/pdfetex `which pdfetex` > > > which -> kpsewhich No, "which" is correct. You want to replace the executable pdfetex that is in the path. On all distributions (except the minimal zips), the bin tree is outside of kpsewhich scope. >> cp -f build/texk/web2c/pdfetex.pool `kpsewhich pdfetex.pool` >> chown -R root:wheel /usr/local/teTeX > > > what is this wheel thing? The "wheel" user group is a unix security measure (of sorts). >> chmod -R u+w /usr/local/teTeX >> chmod -R a+r /usr/local/teTeX > > why not make that place independent as well? Hans is chmodding the directory, not the executable. I'm doubt these chown/chmod lines are really needed after each update of pdfetex (the will only do something the first time the script is run). It looks to me like you had a rather peculiar umask in effect when you installed teTeX 3.0. Cheers, Taco
