Pardon what may be a stupid question, but ... I'm new to TeX, having known about it for years but having no need to install it. Recently, I picked up the imaketex tar file from stanford and commenced to build TeX using the files contained therein. All was going well, until: making all in .//usr/local/tex/web... make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `tangle.web' Current working directory /usr/local/tex/web making all in .//usr/local/tex/mf... make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `mf.web' Current working directory /usr/local/tex/mf making all in .//usr/local/tex/mfware... make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `gftopk.web' Current working directory /usr/local/tex/mfware making all in .//usr/local/tex/tex... make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `tex.web' Current working directory /usr/local/tex/tex making all in .//usr/local/tex/texware... making all in .//usr/local/tex/etc... make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `vptovf.web' Current working directory /usr/local/tex/etc making all in .//usr/local/tex/cm... making all in .//usr/local/tex/lib... making all in .//usr/local/tex/glue... A quick check of the Makefile's in the respective directories found no entries for the *.web targets. Am I missing something, or just some of the software? Thanks in advance. Chuck Fuller

You must also ftp the files in some of the directories in labrea.stanford.edu:pub/tex. Read the file IMAKETEX.README in the top level directory of imaketex101.tar.Z. It tells you what directories you need (actually you don't need fonts even though it says so). Please send bug reports to ramsdell@mitre.org. John I am a member of one of those organization where getting a $150 check costs much more than $150.
