It appears that TeX does not support UNC paths while ls does. This is strange (I expected that to be handled transparently by the dll) $ TEXINPUTS=//host/path:.: pdflatex gdm.tex .... ! LaTeX Error: File `oubraces.sty' not found. ... $ TEXINPUTS=/cygdrive/x/path:.: pdflatex gdm.tex fine $ ls //host/path total 4 4 oubraces.sty $ is this a known bug? can I hope for a fix? thanks! -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running w2k <http://www.camera.org> <http://www.iris.org.il> <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.mideasttruth.com/> <http://www.honestreporting.com> A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
