[pdftex] pdflatex

[Patrick Brockmann (LSCE/IPSL)]

Hi,

My purpose is to use the pdfpages packages which seems
to run only with version 14h of pdflatex

This has been easily made on my linux machines with the rpm
tetex-latex-1.0.7-38.2

But what should I do to get the same on a DEC alpha-osf machine
considering that

1) When I compile pdflatex from
ftp://ftp.muni.cz/pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex/
I get only pdftex and other binaries but not a pdflatex.
Noticed that pdflatex is a symbolic link to pdftex on Linux, I tried to
do the same on the
DEC without success.
I had this following message when tested it on a tex file from pdfpages
package:
> pdftex pdf-ex.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

2) When I compile teTeX from http://www.tug.org/teTeX/ from last current
sources
I get the following pdflatex version
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d
which does not work with pdfpages package

Thanks for any help

Thanks
Patrick
