Hello,

does anyone of you know where I can download LaTeX for OS2008 which includes pdflatex? Please point me to the repository.

maemotex works fine on OS2008
http://www.ham.nw.schule.de/pub/bscw.cgi/365355

Does it support all pdflatex features including bibtex and included graphics?

I am making feeble attempts to cross-compile 'PyX' for OS2008, and one obstacle that I am running into -- that might be related to 'maemotex' -- is the following error:

RuntimeError: cannot find font mapping file 'psfonts.map'

From what I have read, it is the 'responsibility' of 'TeX/LaTeX' to create this file. True? It doesn't appear to exist on my system after installing 'maemotex'.

Please help! If I am ultimately successful, then I will be able to provide 'PyX' to the community. This 'tex' stuff is totally alien to me

Yes.

That's the question: Does it really not exists or will it just not be found, e.g. because of missing environment variables?

I'll give maemotex a try this evening and report...

sommerfee: I am fairly sure that I used a 'find' command to traverse the entire file system looking for 'psfonts.map', but could not find it.

I have no idea if a re-packaging of 'maemotex' with the missing file will solve my 'PyX' porting problem, but it would sure be cool if it did

No-one has answered this - I've downloaded maemotex and pdflatex works beautifully, with included images, but I can't find bibtex - does anyone know if it's available for maemo? Or has it installed itself somewhere obscure? pdflatex installed itself in /usr/bin as you would expect.

If the package was installed from a deb (or repository), then you can list which files were installed with 'dpkg -L package-name' (in an xterm). You can also use 'dpkg --list' (e.g. with 'grep tex') to find the package name(s) of interest.

$ dpkg -L maemotex | grep bibtex
/usr/local/maemotex/070802/bin/armel-maemo/bibtex

to make it easier to find, try
$ root
(or however you have set up to gainroot)
$ ln -s /usr/local/maemotex/070802/bin/armel-maemo/bibtex /usr/bin/bibtex

after which you should be able to just do
$ bibtex <filename>

Someone knows if maemotex is available for maemo 5?
