Well I almost got e*d...
Here's excerpts from my config run...
----------
creating config.h
configuring in kdvi/kpathsea
running /bin/sh ./configure --with-tex-datadir=/usr/share/texmf/web2c
--prefix /opt/kde2 --with-tex-datadir=/usr/share/texmf
--cache-file=../.././config.cache --srcdir=.
loading cache ../.././config.cache
---------
doesnt seem to matter what i tell it, it knows that my tex direcory is
/usr/share/texmf. Then again if I tell it nothing it still chokes.
Then a little later...
---------
checking for /usr/share/texmf/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
configure: error. Please use the --with-tex-datadir option to point to the
main
directory of your TeX installation, where the file texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
is found.
configure: error: ./configure failed for kdvi/kpathsea
---------
I gotta wonder... do other people compile these snapshots? This is just
plain weird! Where does it get teh extra /texmf and how do I make it
stop??? The last I could compile of kdegraphics was the beta. Everything
else compiles, even kdevelop. Is it possible there is somethign weird I'm
missing? The directory in question contains these files...
----------
amiga-pl.tcx elatex.log lambda.fmt mktexnam.opt pdflatex.fmt
amstex.fmt etex.efmt lambda.log mktexupd* pdflatex.log
amstex.log etex.log latex.fmt mp.pool pdftex.fmt

Am I in the right solar system here?
Any help appreciated.
