Do you have a proper texmf-dist tree installed?<br>

Building and installing the sources *does*NOT* suffice to get a<br>
running system. You need to have texmf-dist from SVN.<br>

I'm not sure about that - what I checked out is<br>

THen you have to put the binaries into<br>
texmf-dist/../bin/ARCH/<br>
(depending on your compile option without the ARCH).<br>

Nothing bin-like under texmf-dist/, but a regular <make install> puts<br>
quite some binaries into $PREFIX/bin (mktex*, pdftex, etc.) where<br>
prefix in my case is "/usr".<br>
<br>
Is texmf-dist/../bin/ARCH/ what I'm missing from the texmf-dist thingy?<span class=""><br>

In principle any tex program that uses kpathsea searches first for<br>
the main texmf.cnf via a compiled in list of dirs, that also<br>
includes some relative to the location of the binary.<br>
<br>
Use kpsewhich -show-path texmf.cnf to see where the files are searched.<br>
<br>
If you want to search different ones, you need to set that before<br>
compiling.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></span>
The texmf.cnf doesn't seem to be the problem (in case I got you and the errors right) -<br>
AFAIK it wasn't "not found" at any time.<br>
< kpsewhich -show-path texmf.cnf > includes the path where it actually is:<br>
/usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c<br>
<br>
What's missing according the error messages is "fmtutil.cnf" (besides "pdftex.fmt").<span class=""><br>

Question 1) Is setting $TEXMFMAIN as an environment variable the proper<br>
way? How do other distributions achieve the prefix-path being set correctly?<br>

<br>
Installing a proper texmf-dist tree and setting the proper search path<br>
before compiling, if necessary.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></span>
Following up on that: Where does the "texmf-dist" come from?<br>
And - as mentioned above - to me it doesn't seem the search path is wrong.<span class=""><br>

Question 2) What is necessary to make the map file being found by tcfmgr?<br>

<br>
a proper kpathsea setup, that is, the main texmf.cnf needs to be found.<br>

As stated above, search path seems right and texmf.cnf is located under an<br>
included path.<span class=""><br>

I suggest *looking* into the packaging of TeX Live for Debian/Fedora/Suse<br>
etc to see how it is done there.<br>

Unfortunately I can't really match the debian *.orig.-src-archives to the<br>
source found in SVN.<br>
Still not sure, where the stated texmf-dist (or any other required) tree<br>
comes from, if not from above mentioned SVN repository.<br>

Thanks a lot<br>
