- Hello everyone.
-
- I recently downloaded the TeX stuff from 129.78.66.1 (the Australia
- site) and followed the instructions in the README.222 file, and got it
- installed.
-
- I thought that I was about to fly. But when I ran "latex foo" or
- "tex foo", I got the following greetings:
-
- ------------------------------------------------
- This is TeX, C Version 3.141
- I can't find the default format file!
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- The first line is fine, but the second line ruined my whole day.
-
- I looked around the directories and found that all the format files
- "xxx.fmt" were there under the "/usr/local/lib/tex/formats" directory.
-
- So, what did I do wrong? How come TeX didn't like me. :-(
-
- Could someone please help me out here?
