Compiles aok under Irix 6.5.20m - using native compilers and GNUmake. (system make bombs out in texk somewhere)... Simple tests: xdvi, latex, mpost, pdflatex appears to work. Some comments: Suggestion - in the INSTALL file - it says to type "ls | wc -l" - I get 27. Perhaps "ls -1 | wc -l" would be more appropriate to confirm the number of binaries. I notice that when I am setting paper types in texconfig - it is realtively fast (xdvi, dvips) until I set the paper type in PDFTEX. This forces a rebuild of the formats... Looks like most of them.... (this is even though I leave it set to the default pattern). It is not clear to me why setting the paper size for pdftex rebuilds all the formats (including latex). Perhaps the menu item should indicate "tex configuration" instead of "pdftex". (I notice that latex is a symlink to pdfetex - so it makes sense that all formates are rebuilt). Ezra
