well.. you didnt provide much information... what tex distribution are you using ? tetex, texlive, etc. ? whats the output of texmf-update ? whats the process running ? can you try running each command run by texmf-update separately ? I'm upgrading to texlive from tetex. I have upgraded my System1 with profile: x86/2006.1 and everything went OK. When I tried to upgrade my Syste2 with profile: x86/2007.0/desktop (which has "xml" flag enabled") texlive build with "xml" and prevented inclusion of "pdftetex.fmt" file in directory: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex/ Without this file the sql-ldeger will not print to pdf file. I was trying to unmerge texlive (individual packages) and re-emerging it but texlive always build with "xml" flag: when I tried to run: texmf-update I got: Configuring TeXLive ... Generating /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf from /etc/texmf/texmf.d ... Generating /etc/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf from /etc/texmf/fmtutil.d ... Generating /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg from /etc/texmf/updmap.d ... Generating /etc/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps from /etc/texmf/dvips.d ... Generating ls-R files Generating language.dat file Generating format files ... at this point the processes starting to add up and eating the memory till it runs out. I rebuild the texlive without 'xml" flag and "texmf-update" runs fine. At this point I don't know what when wrong; I did not get any ebuild error and everything compiled fine each and every time. #Joseph can you tell me whats happening when you run (as root): fmtutil-sys --all Created attachment 150404 [details]
fmtutil-sys --all
I have the texfive recompiled without the "xml" flag:
the output of the fmtutil-sys --all attached.
#Joseph
ok; but what does happen if you try to install texlive-htmlxml ? Does this get stuck ? I'd like to have an output of a "crashing" fmtutil-sys --all as it probably gets into an infinite loop and I'd like to understand why. Created attachment 150437 [details]
fmtutil-sys--all with "xml" flag
I've recompiled "texlive" with "xml" flag so pdfxmltex was build-in as well.
It is not giving me any problems. I have tested on both profiles:
default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop
default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop
I can not duplicate the problem now, so I think we can mark as invalid. Maybe the problem was caused by some leftover files which I clean up on the second run. I had a missing pdflatex.fmt file on the first upgrade-run, now they are both there including pdfxmltex.fmt and everything is working :-)
