Dear TeXLivers,
I downloaded and burned texlive2005-inst-20051102.iso, and tried a
installation, on my winXP-SP2 machine.
I chose to install it on c:\Program File\TL_2005\
TLPMGUI worked OK.
But... with pdfetex, I think I ran into the "space in pathname"
problem :
when I type, on a command line, the exact following line (in one line)
pdflatex "c:\Program File\TL_2005\texmf-dist\tex\latex\base\sample2e.tex"
I get the following answer :
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5)
%&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
! Undefined control sequence.
<*> "c:\Program
Files\TL_2005\texmf-dist\tex\latex\base\sample2e.tex"
?
! Emergency stop.
<*> "c:\Program
Files\TL_2005\texmf-dist\tex\latex\base\sample2e.tex"
No pages of output.
Transcript written on ?.
Any solution in view, other than banning spaces in pathnames ?
Bruno.
