I am reporting against xetex because it is the newcomer; problem is really with a name conflict and tetex's search scheme. xetex supplies /usr/share/texmf/tex/xelatex/xkeyval/xkeyval.sty tetex supplies /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/xkeyval/xkeyval.sty xelatex \use{fontspec} loads xkeyval.sty, and ends up getting the latex version because of the order in which tex searches for files to resolve such a request. Unfortunately, fontspec doesn't quite work with the latex version of xkeyval because of a call to \define@choicekey, if nothing else. My "solution" to this has been: (1) copy the xetex versions of xkeyval.{sty,tex} to xekeyval,{sty,tex} (2) Change every instance of xkeyval to xekeyval in the xekeyval.{sty,tex} files (3) Change fontspec.sty to require xekeyval (4) tex-hash After this, everything works as expected.
(1) Assign to joslwah, although I don't think it's really his problem. He'll know where to send it, though; (2) Add arch's on which I am working; (3) CC the tetex people I am doing this in two stages because bugzilla makes me do it that way. By the way, I made the changes on a running system, so those copies and edits are really in the directory /usr/share/texmf/tex/xelatex. And yes, you need both the .sty and .tex files because the .sty file might decide to read in the .tex file. I haven't thought through what all needs to be changed in the .ebuild if this turns out to be the best solution. Another possibility is to just replace the latex xkeyval.{sty,tex} files with xetex's versions, but I have not bothered to check to see if latex works with them.
Fix summary.

Can you let me know the results of: egrep xelatex /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf egrep xetex /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Thanks very much.

Here they are: fmccor@terciopelo ~ [137]% egrep xelatex /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf TEXINPUTS.xelatex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{latex,generic,}// fmccor@terciopelo ~ [138]% egrep xetex /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf TEXINPUTS.xetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{plain,generic,}//

Added in /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf if not present. This should fix the issue. > I haven't thought through what all needs to be changed in the .ebuild if this > turns out to be the best solution.

It hopefully should work now.
That fixed it. Thanks. I'm marking this as fixed.
