[ILUG] Latex problem

[ILUG] Latex problem

Michael Turley samplecode at yahoo.com

Hello,

I have to do a bit of documentation and I'd thought
I'd use LaTeX. I compiled teTex 1.0.7. It seemed to
compile fine and the binaries and shell scripts work.
However when I try to run texconfig I get the terminal
reports "Could not find app-default file for xdvi". 

I've seen worse warnings so I try and run a nice file
which I've called test.txt which contains my latex
stuff through latex (latex test.txt) and I get the
following error. 

"This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!"

A find through the source and /usr/local/tetex/ can't
find any .fmt files.

I presume the texconfig file probably creates
latex.fmt  .

Anyone seen something similar or have any pointers?

Cheers,

Michael
