[Mac OS X TeX] teTeX (TeXshop) Swedish hyphenation

[kjohannisson at mac.com]

<x-flowed>I have some trouble when trying to make tetex/texshop (Texshop 1.11, 
tetex installed from Gerben Wierda's package) use Swedish hyphenation 
patterns in LaTeX documents (together with babel). I managed to 
configure an earlier version of tetex/texshop correctly, but I have 
forgotten (as always when it comes to configuring TeX) the exact 
procedure.

As a first step, I created a directory 
~/Library/texmf/tex/generic/config/ and copied the file language.dat 
>from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ to this new 
location. Then, I uncommented the line for swedish hyphenation in my 
copy of language.dat.

After this one should, as far as I understand, somehow tell tetex to 
create new format (?) files based on my new language.dat file. This is 
where my problems start.  The tetex manual states that after changing 
language.dat one should run "fmtutil --all". If I do this I get:

***
[localhost:~]% fmtutil --all

! tex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path).
fmtutil: `tex -ini -fmt=tex -progname=tex tex.ini' failed.
***

Errors involving tex.pool seem to be rather serious, according to search 
results from comp.text.tex.

The Swedish hyphenation patterns are not used, since when typesetting in 
TeXShop I get the following console output:

instead.
***(etc etc)***

If there is there anyone who could explain what is going on, I would be 
most obliged!
