What might influence this is that my setup separates the texmf part that is related to binaries (like pool files that change when binary versions change) and the stuff that is the fondation (like ConTeXt, LATeX, etc). /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf starts with: >>% Our directory setup as explained in $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/README.gwtex >>% TEXMFMAIN contains the TEXMF tree installed by make install of the programs >>TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf >>% TEXMFTE contains the main TEXMF tree from teTeX >>TEXMFTE = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.tetex >>% TEXMFGW contains GW specific defaults and additions >>TEXMFGW = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.gwtex >>% TEXMFLOCAL contains any local system TeXadmin overrides >>TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.local >>% $VARTEXMF is where texconfig writes its local settings >>VARTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL >>% User texmf trees can be catered for like this... >>HOMETEXMF = $HOME/Library/texmf >> >>% Our complete search path, the last three are searched through >>% ls-R exclusively, which means that you have to run texhash >>% after you have added, moved or deleted files in the tree >>TEXMF={$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFGW,!!$TEXMFTE,!!$TEXMFMAIN} > >In this case, there is a valid TeX setup, though uncommon because the >separation of texmf into texmf and texmf.tetex.

A new foundation >(texmf.tetex + texmf.gwtex) does not touch anything related to the >binaries (like pool files) in texmf. here i also have split trees: # example setup file / hans hagen # # dos2unix setuptex # . setuptex # mktexlsr # texexec --make --alone TEXROOT=/usr/local/tex export TEXROOT PATH=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux/bin:$PATH export PATH TEXMFMAIN=$TEXROOT/texmf TEXMFLOCAL=$TEXROOT/texmf-local TEXMFFONTS=$TEXROOT/texmf-fonts TEXMFPROJECT=$TEXROOT/texmf-project TEXMFLINUX=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux VARTEXMF=$TEXROOT/texmf-var export TEXMFMAIN export TEXMFLOCAL export TEXMFPROJECT export TEXMFFONTS export TEXMFLINUX export VARTEXMF # the next lines fail on dec alpha os's, so there you need # to comment them (bug traced down by kees van marle/martin # corrino) HOMETEXMF= export HOMETEXMF TEXMFCNF=$TEXROOT/texmf{-local,}/web2c TEXMF='{$TEXMFLINUX,$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}' TEXFORMATS=$TEXMFLINUX/web2c TEXPOOL=$TEXFORMATS MPPOOL=$TEXFORMATS export TEXMFCNF export TEXMF export TEXFORMATS export TEXPOOL export MPPOOL now, if you split off the bin tree, it makes sense to set TEXPOOL and MPPOOL explicitly; that way you can be sure that the binaries find them your way; the texmf files use these variables and copy them to the other relevant pool variables.
