Yes there is. That command didn't work though.

but that did.

Thanks!

FYI I tried this too, but was told there was nothing to be done for  
it --- should I've ``make clean'' first?

Okay, I've got it compiled and installed now.

I ran:

xelatex -no-pdf crj.tex

and got a .xdv

I then renamed that to crj.dvi and tried to run xdvipdfmx on it, but  
no joy:

[Dual-G5-2-3:~/Documents/tex] williama% xdvipdfmx -v crj.dvi
crj.dvi -> crj.pdf
DVI ID = 5

** ERROR ** Something is wrong. Are you sure this is a DVI file?

Output file removed.

Is there something I'm missing?
