Re: Problems with TeTex
This should be a FAQ by now. Make sure your slink TeTeX packages are up
to date (check your local mirror). If you use older packages (off a CD
for example) you'll run into this problem. Something 'expired' after a
year. You can search this list for gory details, but the fix is: install
the latest available slink TeTeX packages.
