Subject: Trouble compiling TeX
Date: 21 Jun 1992 13:53:44 GMT

A few weeks ago I asked for the patches to get TeX to compile. The
answer I got was that it compiles "out of the box," so I must be doing
something really stupid. I've been trying to days to get it work, but
nothing doing. I'm using unixtex.tar.Z. I think the problem might be
that web2c compiles fine, but doesn't work. I get error messages like
"lost newline," and several generated files contain junk. Any ideas??
I >really< want to get this going, so any help will be much
appreciated.

Many thanks!
