There are three files in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/, texmf.cnf.frozen, mktex.cnf.frozen, fmtutil.cnf.frozen, they need to be copied to texmf.cnf, mktex.cnf and fmtutil.cnf do not move/rename them but do copy them so you have a backup now. From the readme: "In this distribution the TDS is assumed to be installed at /usr/share/texmf" If *not*, make a symlink from the dir where it is installed: $ ln -s /where/your/texmftree/is/ /usr/share/texmf/ >mentioning also a path that doesn't exist: /usr/bin/texconfig /usr/bin/texconfig is the executable for configuring. (/usr/bin is mounted to /bin) Run texconfig now (three times): $ texconfig confall $ texconfig rehash $ texconfig init That should be all for now. >The thing is that a variable TEXMFMAIN *does* exist in the >file "texmf.cmf" (unless I'm looking at it in the wrong way). If it is still not working, do: $ export TEXMFMAIN=/usr/share/texmf and run texconfig (the three times) again. >I apologise once more if the problem is trivial and >I'm just being an idiot about it. No Problem, please send those mails in future to the cygwin-list because others may benefit from our conversatioon, too.
