[XeTeX] Linux setup question

[Daniel J Farrell]

Hello.

I had the same error message on my MacOS system.

I found this in the archives:
http://ftp.tug.org/mail-archives/xetex/2005-October/002542.html

You could apply the same technique?

Uninstall everything, install TeX then install XeTeX.

Apart from that I don't know what else to suggest.

Dan.
