<p>Hi Martin,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. We were actually following the same section pointed by you. We are stuck at following point.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">"</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">Once you have a tree including both all the support files (gigabytes of stuff) and your new binaries, then run, for instance, </span><tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">latex small2e</span></tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">;
the </span><tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">latex.fmt</span></tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"> file should be automatically built and you should end up with a </span><tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">small2e.dvi</span></tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"> file
that you can, for example, view with xdvi or convert with dvips. Similarly for </span><tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">pdflatex</span></tt><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"> and all the other engines."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">It says latex.fmt file should be automatically built. Is latex.fmt generated artifact of some previous step or we need to get it from some where?</span></p>
