<div dir="ltr">Apologies for sending this a second time. The first time I accidentally hit the send button.<br><br>I am running tex-live on a ubuntu 7.10 system.<br>I had had tex-live running successfully for a while but recently tried to add a number of .cls and .sty files.<br>
Once I added these files I was able to use them while running lyx (which generates .tex files)<br>
Eventually I got around to running latex on my .tex files.<br>When I did I got the following errors:<br><br> kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt<br> tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found.<br>
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.<br><br>Advice on the web advised me to reinstall tex-live which I did but it did not help.<br>Eventually I discovered the texconfig command. <br>First I tried running texhash from inside texconfig but to no avail.<br>
then I ran conf to show the configuration; the output is shown below.<br>Some of the kpathsea variables have odd settings as far as I know.<br>In particular:<br><br> TEXMFVAR=/home/rocky/.texmf-var<br><div dir="ltr">
TEXMFCONFIG=/home/rocky/.texmf-config<br><br>Neither of the above files exist in my home directory (rocky).<br>
<br>Questions <br><br> 1) Are these settings the source of my problem.<br> 2) If they are then how do I get them set correctly.<br> 3) If they are not how do I do a proper reinstall.<br> I assume I have modified or created a file somewhere<br>
that is affecting the reinstall but I don't know which file.<br><br>Thanks for any help.<br><br>Ralph Boland<br> <br><br>OUTPUT from the conf command from within texconfig:<br><br>=========================== version information ==========================<br>
