[XeTeX] fmutil throws error on installation

[Alexander Schultheiß]

Hey,

I ran into a problem when installing XeTeX (v. 0.996) TeXLive 2009.
The build script works w/o problem (after temporarily changing my PATH
to include the TeX binaries) but when I try to install ($ shell
./install-xetex) I get the following error (two times):

/usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-linux/fmtutil: line 341: 12667
Aborted                 ${1+"$@"}
Error: `xetex -ini  -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex -etex xelatex.ini' failed

###############################################################################
fmtutil: Error! Not all formats have been built successfully.
Visit the log files in directory
  /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c
for details.
###############################################################################

This is a summary of all `failed' messages:
`xetex -ini  -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex -etex xelatex.ini' failed

That's actually the second error message; the first is identical only
that '12667 Aborted' in the first line reads '12316 Aborted'. I
visited the logfiles and grep'ed for errors (find /usr/.../web2c |
xargs grep -i error) but nothing came up, except this:
./pdftex/texsis.log:\@balncErrormsg=\toks15, but it doesn't look like
an error.

The install script finished however. Yet, when I try to install
xdvipdfmx (v. 0.4) the configure script doesn't find libkpathsea.a. I
searched my system and found the libs in the xetex dir from where I
started the xetex scripts. Thus my suspicion is that xetex didn't
install correctly and xdvipdfmx consequently got thrown off. What did
I miss?

Thanks in advance
