When trying to emerge jadetex, the following error occurs: | >>> Source unpacked. | $tex jadetex.ins | This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.4) | kpathsea: Running mktexfmt tex.fmt | tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found. | fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. | I can't find the format file `tex.fmt'! | make: *** [basic] Error 1 | | !!! ERROR: app-text/jadetex-3.13-r1 failed. | !!! Function src_compile, Line 36, Exitcode 2 So it seems that $TEXMFMAIN is not set, but `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'` correctly returns /var/lib/texmf, in which texconfig/tcfmgr.map exists. Manually setting $TEXMFMAIN before emerging doesn't help. I have started a forum thread on this (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-328237.html), but nobody could help me.

After adding "pic" to USE flags and accidentally recompiling glibc (and xorg-x11-6.8.99.5), everything works fine now. I can't pull this together.

(In reply to comment #1) 02Jul05, Chris Smith. I had exactly this problem, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACEd to kill my X session, and emerge jadetex worked great. Go figure.
After chatting on #gentoo-bugs, the problem for me was logging in on the work account, su to root, emerge jadetex. If you >su (nohyphen), you don't get the proper environment. Best practice: su -
In the midst of upgrading to gcc-4.3.4 and am running into this as well for the first time. "su -" from "su/root shell" fails as well.
