Dear Cygwin folks,
I installed Cygwin/X in Feb, 2005, and it has been working very well.
This passed weekend I wad trying add the "xfig", and after downloading and
reinstalling,
yes I have xfig now. However, the "latex" and "tex" do not work any more, but
"amstex"
still works.
When I run latex, I got the following message:
$ latex meta.tex
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
file:line:error style messages enabled.
%&-line parsing enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found.
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!
------------------------------------------------------------
and when I run "tex" I got the following:
$ tex ams-00.tex
This is TeXk, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.4)
file:line:error style messages enabled.
%&-line parsing enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt tex.fmt
tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found.
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the format file `tex.fmt'!
------------------------
I am a mathematician, and use latex a lot. Does anybody have any suggestion/idea
in solving this problem?
Many thanks
