DruTeX - can't input ucs.sty (TEXINPUTS issue?)
Hi,
I'm running Drupal 6.9 and trying to install DruTeX 6.x-1.0-beta1. I'm still getting the "TeX embedding failed!" message.
By setting debugging mode and looking at the shell commands that are failing, I found out my webserver uses the tcsh shell. So commands like "FOO=bar cmd", which should set the variable $FOO to "bar" then run the command, don't work. I tried to fix it by writing instead "setenv FOO bar; cmd" So now my custom script looks like
cd [TMP_DIR]; setenv TEXINPUTS "/path/to/drupal/[DRUTEX_DIR]//:" ; /usr/local/bin/latex [HASH].tex
...(it seemed like I needed an absolute path to the drutex directory. I probably don't need absolute paths to the executables, but was just trying it to see if it changed anything).
If I unsetenv TEXINPUTS, then run this script on the machine with SSH in the same tcsh shell, it succeeds. The webserver, not so much. Looking in the log files for the tex files that are created, the first error is
! LaTeX Error: File `ucs.sty' not found.This file should be found because it's in a subdirectory of the directory added to TEXINPUTS, and it is found when I run the script as me. Why wouldn't it be found by the server?
So now I'm at a dead end. TIA for any clues.
Sorry for multiple posting
looks like one of drupal's databases is down and half of my submissions are failing. I hit the button three times before I got a response, and I guess I posted three times.
Bump
Three days and no reply...should I ask somewhere else?
OT but related: is there a way to get email updates when someone replies to your post?
