<div>Hello Jonathan</div>
<div>Thanks a lot. I successfully built XeTeX from source on the following platforms:</div>
<div>1) Redhat Enterprise 4</div>
<div>2) Fedora Core 6</div>
<div>3) Redhat 9</div>
<div>The best result was on Redhat Enterprise 4. On Fodora Core 6, there were just some brackets ([][][]]) in the output pdf file. I checked everything, the fonts, the syntax, ... . On Redhat 9, as you mentioned, there were some problems regarding the teTeX itself.
</div>
<div>Anyway, I am going to test TeX Live.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind Regards</div>
<div>Ali<br><br> </div>

<br>simple answer is that this is no longer supported, and I don't think<br>we should spend much time on it. (In particular, I'm not going to set<br>up a teTeX system to reproduce and solve problems.) If you have<br>
suggested patches that would help, and not disrupt other things,<br>they'd be welcome, but I don't have the resources to do much<br>investigation of this.<br><br>My recommendation would be to use TeX Live, either by installing the
<br>TeX Live distribution directly (in which case problems should be<br>reported to the TeX Live team), or via your distribution's package<br>system, if available (in which case problems should be reported to<br>the packagers). Either way, you should be able to get XeTeX as part
<br>of a standard TeX Live installation.<br><br>Finally, if you're building XeTeX from source yourself, e.g., because<br>you need a newer version than TeX Live provides, and have problems<br>installing the new version into a current TeX Live system, it would
<br>be helpful to see those errors and any suggested improvements.<br>There's a script in the xetex repository that attempts to install a<br>newly-built version, but I'm sure it could use some work.<br><br>Thanks,
