I have purged all tetex packages and all /*/texmf/* files. But
installation still have some problems. I can't reproduce my steps.
:-/ After some hacks installation was successfull. I remember, that
there was problem also with permision of *.log and *.fmt files in
/var/lib/texmf/web2c directory. root's umask is 077. Probably you
can explicitly set permision for all files. This problem was fixed
if root set umask to 022 and process first *.tex file -- TeX was
initialized succesfully. I must run also "fmtutil --all" before.
Thanks for help. Sorry for unclearly informations and my bad
english. ;)
