I have two F12 systems with texlive-2009 installed. On one of them,
pdflatex works fine. On the other, I get this error:
$ pdflatex simple.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 2009)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!
On the working system, pdflatex.fmt is in
${HOME}/.texlive2009/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt, but on the
failing system, that file is missing.
Reinstalling and rerunning texconfig doesn't help.
Any idea what's going on?
TIA.
