utility file analysis : another run needed

utility file analysis : another run needed

[jean-pierre le narzul]

Hi,

When I launch texexec --pdf ....., it runs several times (6 or 7) before
ending with the following message .... :

"utility file analysis : another run needed"

The pdf seems to be correct but it takes long to be generated .....

Any idea of the problem ?

Hi,

from your message it is difficult to distill what happens. Could you 
please give more details concerning the setup of your source. May be a 
look into the jobname.log file can give you also a clue what is going on.

it looks like you have some oscillation going on; one way to find out is 

texexec --pdf yourfile
copy yourfile.tuo yourfile-old.tuo 
texexec --pdf yourfile --once 
texutil --ref yourfile 

diff yourfile-old.tuo yourfile.tuo 

it should show differences 

oscillation can take place when decisions are made based on previous runs (but only in tricky situations where the multi pass info gets loose from the target); it's one reason why there will never be real automated  high quality typesetting -)

Hi,

I tried what you suggested but the tuo files are the same ...

I am joining .tar.gz of the (simplified) project as Patrick asked.

thanks to everybody for help
