It seems the inittex fix is not working for me. I have adjusted the qt6
dependencies and the build seems to work fine up to here:

[ 83%] Built target fonts
[ 84%] == Generating inittex.ini from init.tex ==

Error: GLE is unable to locate its configuration file.
       GLE searched these locations:
       '/usr/share/gle-graphics/glerc'
Please set GLE_TOP to the correct location.


When I build with the previous version already installed, I get:
[ 84%] == Generating inittex.ini from init.tex ==
Error: GLE's configuration file:
       '/usr/share/gle-graphics/glerc'
Is from GLE version '4.3.7' (and not '4.3.8' as expected).
Please set GLE_TOP to the correct location.

How do I tell the build to use "build/glerc" instead? Or how do I disable
creating inittex.ini during the build phase? The previous solution worked
fine for Debian.

thanks,
Christian
