In-Reply-To: <5.1.0.14.2.20020924134432.02c36e58@pop3.cris.com> Message-ID: Importance: Normal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Thanks, Randy. I've done most of this, and I also have MikTeX installed, so the path was the first thing I've checked. In fact, it was by seeing that it picked up the MikTeX executables that I realized that the symlinks were screwed up... My latex installation now works correctly, but what concerns me is that it was in an invalid state after install.
