    Hi all,

    I have tried to install the teTeX package from sunfreeware.com. It did
    not work for me. I finally decided to build it on my own. I downloaded
    the sources and did

            mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf
            gzip -dc /usr/src/tetex-texmf-2.0.2.tar.gz | (umask 0; cd
    /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf; tar xvf -)

            cd /usr/src
            gzip -dc tetex-src-2.0.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -

            cd tetex-src-2.0.2
               sh -c './configure --prefix=/usr/local/teTeX
    --disable-multiplatform >configure.log 2>&1' &
            tail -f configure.log

            sh -c 'make world >world.log 2>&1' &

    This led to the following:

    ...
    if test -f /usr/local/teTeX/bin/fmtutil; then \
       TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf
    PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin://GNUstep/Tools://
    GNUstep/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-gnu://GNUstep/Tools/sparc/
    solaris2.8:/opt/GNUstep/Local/Tools:/opt/GNUstep/Local/Tools/sparc/
    solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-gnu:/opt/GNUstep/Local/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8:/opt/
    GNUstep/Network/Tools:/opt/GNUstep/Network/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-
    gnu-gnu:/opt/GNUstep/Network/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8:/opt/GNUstep/
    System/Tools:/opt/GNUstep/System/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-gnu:/
    opt/GNUstep/System/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/
    local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/apache/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin:/
    usr/ccs/bin:/opt/FrontBase/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin \
         /usr/local/teTeX/bin/fmtutil --all; \
    else :; fi
    fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
    make: *** [install] Error 255

    I searched for this file and got

    # find /usr/local -name "fmtutil.cnf"
    /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

    Who has experiences with building teTeX on Solaris and can help me out?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Regards,

        Andreas
