Hello,
I installed the latest cygwin based tetex dist. on my m/c and now one
of my latex files is giving errors.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,headsepline]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{floatflt}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage[pdftex,....]{hyperref}
\renewcommand{\headheight}{60pt} %% must be large enough for graphic
\renewcommand{\textheight}{540pt}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{ptm}
\sbox{\mygraphic}{\includegraphics[totalheight=60pt,scale=0.5]{l.jpg}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1pt}
\begin{document}
....

For the above I get tex errors like
----error----
ERROR: You can't use `the character 6' after \the.

--- TeX said ---
\headheight ->6
               0pt
l.151 \textcolor{red}{# tttt - source dir}
                                          
--- HELP ---
>From the .log file...

I'm forgetting what you said and using zero instead.
----error----

And when I look at the generated pdf, the headrule has "60pt"in
letters next to the left header.  This file came out properly with the
2000/2001?  version of cygwin tetex but now it's not.  The only place
where I have used "60pt" is in the elided snippet above and it appears
in line with the head separator.  Any idea why this is so?

regards,
Sivaram
