Bug#93004: tetex-base: pdftex option in graphicx package doesn't latex-compile
Package: tetex-base Version: 1.0.2+20000804-7 Severity: normal
Using option [pdftex] within the graphicx package fails to
latex-compile any document (even simple articles with no figures). The
output of the error is somehow cryptic:
> latex simple
>
> ...
> ...
>
> ! Undefined control sequence.
> <write> \m!systems
> : Why not use pdf(e)TeX binaries?
> l.59 ...!systems}{Why not use pdf(e)TeX binaries?}
>
> ?
Tried the same simple document on other computers (redhat systems) with
no such an error :-(
Thanks!
