I can confirm that it is a FC6 problem: I have just test with FC5 tetex and LaTeX try only to access files in its path (either defined in texmf.cnf or by the way of TEXINPUTS variable). On FC5: $rpm -q tetex tetex-3.0-29.fc5 On FC6: $rpm -q tetex tetex-3.0-32.fc6.x86_64 -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université René Descartes http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
