TEXINPUTS.pdflatex = 	   .;$HOME/Work/Base;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/

This don't work but

cd Library/texmf/tex/
ln -s /Users/ego/Work Work

   works fine !


thanks Peter and Herbert


But i would like to understand the problem with texmf.cnf.

locate texmf.cnf

...
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/texmf.cnf.gwtex.tl2003
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/texmf.cnf.gwtex.tl2004
...etc

Why this files ?



Greetings

Alain
