    Dear managers,

    I need teTeX on Solaris and thought the quickest approach would be to
    go with a package from www.sunfreeware.com. I did

            gunzip tetex-2.0.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz
            pkgadd -d gunzip tetex-2.0.2-sol8-sparc-local

    For whatever reason I got Error: file texmf.cnf not found in
    ``/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c'' so I did

            ln -s /usr/local/teTeX/share /usr/local/share

    to fix that. Somebody looked into usr/local/share/texmf/web2c instead
    of usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c. I then did

            texconfig confall

    and tried

    bash-2.03$ pdftex test.tex
    This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1)
    (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

    I am stymied as well. What is missing here? What else do I have to do
    to get a working teTeX distribution on Solaris?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Regards,

        Andreas
