Bug 82728 – Building of jadetex-3.13 fails due to a access violation errors in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mf.* (various extensions)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Matt Schneider 2005-02-20 13:37:30 UTC]

While emerging jadetex-3.13 it fails due to the fact it cannot unlink files in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/, specifically mf.log and mf.base. Here is the exact output from the failure of the build process:

Preloading the plain base, version 2.71: preliminaries,
 basic constants and mathematical macros,
 macros for converting from device-independent units to pixels,
 macros and tables for various modes of operation,
 macros for drawing and filling,
 macros for proof labels and rules,
 macros for character and font administration,
and a few last-minute items.) (/usr/share/texmf/metafont/misc/modes.mf) )
Beginning to dump on file mf.base
 (base=mf 2005.2.20)
