I installed the latest `tetex' via `fink' and now I can't use `dvi2pdf'

The worse thing is that the LaTeX manual is in .dvi format!!!

For some reason it tells that texc.pro header is not found but it's there, I swear!

Try to open it with iTexmac, works great for me
and BTW, check you installed all the tex packages for tetex

I installed tetex using the i-Installer. That may be simpler than fink if you can't figure out how to fix it. I also use TeXShop.

Here's a link to these apps.

That's the problem, it doesn't work.
I'm using iTexMac normally. But it failed, and then the command line failed too [the problem is there somewhere]

No, I don't want to do it manually. then I'd have to do it manually every time the source is updated. And no, I don't like TeXShop :-P

Besides that, I have troubles installing `hyperref' via `fink'

Failed: can't build hyperref-6.72-2 because no package description is available

I tried to upgrade my tetex via fink and I also get errors... very strange

all was fine before !

Wondering if one of the package is broken

Who to contact about this?
I need LaTeX daily

Try to install the binaries instead of the sources

They are older ( a few days) and they work great

On a project like latex who has been up for yeasr, new versions are not very important...

Did you install Ghostscript? If so, just convert the .dvi file. Copy the dvi-file to a suitable directory (in your home dir).

dvipdf nameOfDvi.dvi

Then open the .pdf.

TeX sometimes does't like Fink-paths. You really might want to try the i-installer and delete the fink installation.

I told before that this doesn't work!!!
I get the

dvips: ! Couldn't find header file texc.pro

But the file exists, i don't know what's going on.

try

sudo texhash

it fixed my problem.

You have posted that the command used was dvi2pdf. Unfortunately, there is no such command, its name is dvipdf.

So I assumed that this may be the problem.

sudo texhash is usually not necessary, just when you install something, say, a font. Sure can't hurt though.

I use TeX right from the i-Installer, has always worked for me. I agree with iNeusch that it's nonsense to get the latest binaries (very latest).
