Erm, scratch that, you will need the PassiveTeX patches. I just checked my setup, and the version that fixes the FO problems is 1.19, which hasn't "officially" been released. So you'll have to manually install the fixes to PassiveTeX that Bob provides as downloads in the SourceForge tracker request (URL given above). [PS, what I did on my Red Hat 7.3 machine, was to package up the changes to 1.18 in a new passivetex.zip file, changed the spec file version of the passivetex RPM to 1.19 and then rebuilt the rpm (using "rpm -ba") using the new passivetex.zip. This resulted in a new RPM that I could simply "upgrade" (using "rpm -Uvh"), since the RPM spec file already has all the logic to rebuild the .fmt files, and overwrites the old files in a clean way, so you don't have two installations of passivetex to get confused by. It also means I don't have to worry about all that !@%$#& TeX voodoo or manually changing any files under '/usr/{lib,share,include,bin}' which should only be touched by rpm. Since SuSE uses RPM, I'm sure something similar should work for SuSE, but your mileage may vary...] A. -- Alex Lancaster | Free Software Developer: savannah.gnu.org, sourceforge.net
