Subject: I wonder... why kps don't find .nty files
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 1995 20:41:46 +0100
From: Nicolai Langfeldt <janl@math.uio.no>
Here we have a old, obsolete, 'seemed like a good idea at the time'
latex mutation called nlatex, the powers that be wants to keep it so
they don't have to deal with complaints from those that still use it.
It stores it's style files with .nty extentions. nlatex can't find
report.nty, nor any others.
I turned on all debugging and ran kpsexpand:
$ kpsexpand nlatex '$TEXINPUTS' report.nty
...
kdebug:search(file=report.nty.tex, must_exist=0, find_all=0, path=.:/use/ask/u6/nil/tex/inputs//:/local/TEX/lokalt/inputs/latex209//:/local/TEX/lokalt/inputs//:!!/local/TEX/lib/inputs/latex209//:!!/local/TEX/lib/inputs//).
kdebug:hash_lookup(report.nty.tex) => (null)
kdebug:hash_lookup(report.nty.tex) => (null)
kdebug:search(report.nty.tex) =>
kdebug:search(file=report.nty, must_exist=1, find_all=0, path=.:/use/ask/u6/nil/tex/inputs//:/local/TEX/lokalt/inputs/latex209//:/local/TEX/lokalt/inputs//:!!/local/TEX/lib/inputs/latex209//:!!/local/TEX/lib/inputs//).
kdebug:hash_lookup(report.nty) => /local/TEX/lib/latex209/nlatex/
The above is the correct location
kdebug:hash_lookup(report.nty) => /local/TEX/lib/latex209/nlatex/
So is that, but then:
kdebug:search(report.nty) =>
TEX: (null)
...
So it finds it but don't report it? I'm still using kpathsea 2.5 if it
matters.
I'm having some problems with the dang debugger, I'll tell you more
if/when I get it to cooperate.
(Anyone know dbx on osf/1?:
[kpse_find_file:307 ,0x120003f98] if (suffix)
(dbx) print suffix
"suffix" is not defined or not active
(I tried gcc/gdb, but that was even weirder)).
