[XeTeX] XeLateX problem after updating

[Neal Delmonico]

When the fmtutil file is run it gets several errors.  Here is what it says:


fmtutil: Error! Not all formats have been built successfully.

   /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c
for details.

This is a summary of all `failed' messages:

`pdftex -ini  -jobname=utf8mex -progname=utf8mex -enc *utf8mex.ini' failed

I looked at the xelatex.fmt and see that the date on the file is back in  
january.  So it was not touched in the most recent execution of fmtutil.

Any suggestions?

Best

Neal
