Re: [MiKTeX] problems installing miktex tools on ubuntu 9.10

[Wolfgang B. <wj...@we...>]

Hello,

I installed TL2009 (medium scheme) and MiKTeX Tools.

(pdf)latex sample2e.tex    works, 

miktex-pdftex --undump=latex sample2e    works. 

BUT  

miktex-pdftex --undump=pdflatex sample2e 

gives an error message:

------------------
miktex-pdftex --undump=pdflatex sample2e
