teTeX for Rhapsody DR2

I have compiled Thomas Esser's teTeX, a distribution of Donald E. Knuth's computer typesetting program, TeX. There has only been minimal testing done on this port, so expect some problems along the way. I will also release my diff's with the teTeX source distribution once I have the opportunity to modify it to automatically not compile xdvi. I hope to have a DVI viewer for the Yellow Box in a releasable alpha stage Real Soon Now®.

Prerequisites

This distribution is for Rhapsody DR2 on PowerPC only. When I get DR2 for Intel, I'll go ahead and update the distribution. I doubt these binaries will work under DR1. Also, you must download and install the teTeX-lib-0.4pl8.tar.gz file, available from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) or from the teTeX link above.

Installation

First, you must download and install the teTeX lib distribution mentioned above. Change the the directory /usr/local and then unarchive the PowerPC binary distribution. Alternatively, if you use Opener.app to unarchive the binaries, just copy the contents of the teTeX directory into /usr/local/teTex. Follow the installation specified in /usr/local/teTeX/bin/README. Finally, run texconfig to set your preferences and rebuild the ls-R file.

Bugs and Support

If you find any bugs in the distribution specific to this port to Rhapsody, please feel free to fix it yourself :-) or contact me, Bill Chin, at wchin@acm.org. Unfortunately, I cannot promise any action on bugs you report. You can find more information at the teTeX Homepage and the TeX Users Group Homepage.
