Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2008-9
I think this package has some issues. pdflatex run as a www-data user
fails to create pk fonts cache at the working directory (the directory
is writable by www-data) or /tmp. It fails with the following error:
*(see the transcript file for additional information)
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ecsx1000): Font ecsx1000 at 600 not found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
a folder named $HOME (literally this, not environment variable) is
created in the working directory. and .texmf-var is created but font
cache is not generated.
pdflatex works from command line as www-user from the directory where
where it fails from scripts system(" "); calls.
#su www-data
then at the command promp at the directory which is writable by www-data
pdflatex PO.tex
works OK, creating the pk font cache at the /tmp directory.
However this has some error that says it can not create
directory ././.texmf-var/......
why is that? May be ././ (why the double?)
Thank you
Bal
