Okay, I'll not be afraid in parading my ignorance in front of
everybody. I see web2c configuration as a form of voodoo. Sometimes it
works for me, but clearly my mental model is insufficient, because it
really can surprise me, as well.
I'm having some kpathsea issues on a new reinstall of gwTeX.
in my texmf.cnf:
TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}//
I'm trying to get xetex to find
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt, which
exists.
at the command line:
atl% kpsewhich -show-path=fmt
.:/Users/atl/Library/texmf/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/
texmf.local/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/web2c///:!!/
usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/
texmf/web2c///:/Users/atl/Library/texmf/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/
share/texmf.local/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/web2c//
/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/
share/texmf/web2c///
atl% kpsewhich cont-en.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt
...as expected. But with a different engine:
atl% kpsewhich -show-path=fmt -engine=xetex
.:/Users/atl/Library/texmf/web2c/xetex//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/
texmf.local/web2c/xetex//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/web2c/
xetex//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/web2c/xetex//:!!/usr/
local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/xetex//:/Users/atl/Library/texmf/web2c//
/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/
share/texmf.gwtex/web2c///:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/web2c//
/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c///
atl% kpsewhich -engine=xetex cont-en.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt
That is, -show-path gets it right, but kpsewhich on a normal search
gets it wrong. I'm stymied.
many thanks for whatever help you can point me to,
adam

Hi Adam,
I'd bet that you have done it: you did run texhash after putting the
format into web2c/xetex?

I would have bet that I did it, too, after years of giving the same
advice.
But I didn't.
Ugh.
Thanks,
adam
