Without know much about the tex world, this seems to be what I would do based upon the assumtion that ~/.texmf-var/... was not created by you and thus would be a remnent of tetex being run and those files being generated by tetex. Thus with them out of the way, files similar to those would be recreated by tex-live and would be compatible. -K -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|
