Re: compilation error in 2.5.26

[Luis Guillermo Agudelo]

Thanks Daniel,

Unfortunately I am getting a clean output from that command.

However I am thinking you are right, there must be something wrong in my 
installation of tetex. Yesterday I got some errors about the map files being 
in a deprecated directory structure whilst compiling tetex 3.0. I am trying 
to fix that now.

Cheers,
Luis
