The documentation concearning this is in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/tetex-beta-20001218.README
Where it reads:
Here is an overview of a typical installation:
[1] install the binaries with the cygwin setup as usual;
. (Did that sucessfully)
[2] install TDS at /usr/share/texmf (see above):
cd /usr/share
mkdir -p texmf
tar -zxf teTeX-src-1.0.tar.gz
. (Did that sucessfully)
[3] check the configuration files in /usr/share/texmf/web2c
texmf.cnf, fmtutil.cnf and mktex.cnf
please note that the distributed configuration files are
(with extension) frozen to avoid overwriting.
. (Did that sucessfully)
[4] configure TeX:
texconfig confall
texconfig rehash (or mktexlsr)
texconfig init
__________________________________________________________________
texconfig confall
and
texconfig init
Result in
error: Could not find default config file for DVIPS (config.ps)
This program will exit now.
__________________________________________________________________
On suggestion, I tried to do:
$ export TEXMFMAIN=/usr/share/texmf
and then running texconfig (the three times) again.
But it still resulted in the same error mentioned above.
What could be wrong?
