Hello:

I removed the latest tetex-3.0 package and reinstalled tetex-2.0.2 which 
comes with Slackware 10.1. After this, when I run ./configure 
--prefix=/usr --build=i486-slackware-linux, it recognized all the 
libraries properly in the end. So, I suspect something wrong with the 
latest package. What could it be? The log file when I configured with 
tetex-2.0.2 is attached.
