[XeTeX] TECkit help

[Glen Wilson]

Hello,

Thank you very much for the examples and the information. I gave up, 
installed teckit on my windows machine, and did it there and got the one 
mapping I wanted to work fine. I have, however, been having quite some 
trouble installing TECkit in Ubuntu 8.04 if anybody would be so kind to 
help, or point me in the right direction. Below is some explanation of 
my problem... Thank you for your help!!!


I concluded that something got messed up when I installed using the perl 
bundle they offered, and so I cleared that out and tried to install it 
from source code. Everything seemed to go just fine, except I had lots 
of time struggling with getting permission to run ./configure . I got so 
fed up with it, I just changed all of the privelages to all of the files 
using chmod 777, and then it finally worked.
Then I ran "make" which ran fine, and then the guide I was using told me 
to use "checkinstall". After that, I tried to run "teckit_compile" with 
no luck. I kept getting error messages saying that "teckit_compile" 
could not locate the file or folder. I apologize for not being able to 
be more specific, but I can recreate the problem if need be. I tried 
this twice, one using "checkinstall" and one using "make install" and 
both times turned up with errors.

Thank you once again for taking the time to help me out!
