My compile xen stop working in line latex src/interface.tex >/dev/null This is normal? thanks -- Cimed Ind. de Med. Ltda Mauricio Merlin Machado Analista de Suporte Tel.

If you had included the error message we could know for sure what was wrong. Anyway, as this is just the documentation being generated, and it happens after all the software has been built, your Xen should be OK to install and use. If you want the documentation, just install LaTeX. -- Stop the infinite loop, I want to get off! http://surreal.istic.org/ Paraphernalia/Never hides your broken bones,/ And I don''t know why you''d want to try:/ It''s plain to see you''re on your own. -- Paul Simon The documentation that can be written is not the true documentation. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have to kill ''latex''. It just sits idle. Xen itself works perfectly though ;-) A ''top -p "latex-process-id" '' shows no use of cpu: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 19401 root 18 0 16768 4028 692 S 0.0 6.8 0:00.02 latex As for the question whether all packages required for building the documentation are installed, the ./docs/check_pkgs checks for it. The error message would look different in case a package was missing. Ooh, while writing this mail and looking through the Makefiles I see that ''latex2html'' is required. In my case it was missing. After installing it all went fine. The above mentioned doc/check_pkgs does not check for latex2html. It does not do so in testing.hg and unstable.hg. Inserting silent_which latex2html || exit 1 will probably catch it :-) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Since latex ocasionally wants user interaction, redirecting its output to /dev/null generally seems like a bad idea. Probably the Makefile should use "latex -interaction=batchmode" or similar instead /Ernst _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
