I just tried for sparc architecture; back up tetex and then
ebuild tetex-20030112.ebuild fetch unpack compile install

(goes OK)

ebuild tetex-20030112.ebuild qmerge

Can't find config file for dvipdfm, and then a simple test:

latex I,R,andD
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.3)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

where "I,R,andD.tex" is a normal LaTeX file.

Then,

emerge /usr/portage/packages/All/tetex-1.0.7-r11.tbz2

recovers nicely.

So, it doesn't work for me, but this failure is so basic that I must be
doing something silly?  I can work with you some on this, as long as
the install is reversible.

Regards,
