[comp.text.tex] TeX 3.0 Installation on a Personal Iris

gravishanker@eagle.wesleyan.edu (03/14/91)

Hi

I am VERY new to TeX. I am trying to install TeX 3.0 on my Personal Iris
(Silicon Graphics). I picked up the distribution from labrea.stanford.edu. I
modified the site.h file to undefine BSD and define SYSV. The make worked fine
and went through smoothly with a couple of warning messages about not being
able to reach a couple of return statements. The make install worked fine too.
I moved all the necessary files to all the required places, and the preparation
of lplain.fmt and plain.fmt also proceeded fine.

When I try to latex any file, I immediately get the following error:

% latex zoning
This is TeX, C Version 3.0
(zoning.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 <7 Dec 1989>
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/article.sty
Document Style `article' <16 Mar 88>.
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/art11.sty)
Underfull \vbox (badness 10000) has occurred while \output is active [1]
Overfull \vbox (10.0pt too high) has occurred while \output is active)

And the resulting dvi file is garbage. It has a couple of characters per page.
What could I be doing wrong? Any clues will be appreciated.
