the latex.fmt file in latex.tgz is one that is compatible with
the virtex in texbin.tgz..it's simple enought to update your
latex.fmt though. just run:
initex lplain \\dump; mv lplain.fmt /usr/TeX/lib/tex/formats/latex.fmt
NOTE: for a while i had binaries posted that only looked
in subdirs of /usr/TeX/lib/tex/inputs for files. if ur binary
cant find lplain.tex either:
1)get updated texbin.tgz
2) run:
cd /usr/TeX/lib/tex
tar cvf m.t macros
rm -r macros
ln -s inputs macros
tar cvf m.t
sync; rm m.t
please forgive my oversight that caused the above problems.
1. LaTeX on SLS 1.03 doesn't work
At the end of August, there has been an upgrade of the TeX package including
new TeX binaries. Seems that the LaTeX format wasn't upgraded too. You can
do it for yourself with the commands (use an account with appropriate
permissions, i.e. root ot tex, if you have this one):
myhost% cd /usr/TeX/lib/tex/formats
myhost% initex lplain
... lots of TeX messages ...
* \dump
... more TeX messages ...
myhost% mv lplain.fmt latex.fmt
Happy (La)TeXing,
Reinhard
