Note on Linux binaries of hTeXp ------------------------------- For Linux, both ELF and a.out format binary executable files of hTeXp are provided. File names are "htexp.aout" and "htexp.elf". Rename one of them as "htexp". Now the ELF binary (htexp.elf) is compiled with libc.so.5.3.12; Thus there will be no troubles on recent Linux distributions. If your Linux is not so old, I recommend to install htexp.elf. On recent versions of Linux, I confirmed that htexp.elf.old does not find files in directories specified in TEXFONTS or TEXINPUTS environment variables using recursive search indicator(//). It is because of incompatibility of different versions of Linux libc. A typical situation is that an error like ! Font \OMX/cmex/m/n/10=cmex10 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. is displayed when creating hlatex.fmt file. If you have such problems, try again with the new ELF binary (htexp.elf) or the a.out binary (htexp.aout). On the other hand, if your Linux is too old, htexp.elf.old may be suitable, but I'm not sure :)
