[tex-live] TexLive utf8 problem

[Eurico de Sousa]

Hi.

 

I've installed TexLive 2009 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 server. It built successfully using configure, make and make install. However, when a client runs a Latex program, it gives the following:

 

~/testLatex:latex utf8test.tex

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)

(./utf8test.tex

LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>

Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, n

ohyphenation, loaded.

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls

Document Class: article 2001/04/21 v1.4e Standard LaTeX document class

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/size11.clo))

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/inputenc.sty

 

! LaTeX Error: File `utf8.def' not found.

 

I believe the make check also gave this utf8.def error. I have no idea what to do with this as I'm a sys admin and don't know anything about this product. The client says he needs this fixed. I install TexLive under /usr/local/. There is a utf8.def file under /usr/local/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/utf8.def. Can you please tell me what's wrong or how we can fix this?

 

Thank you.

These can be problems with this based on the charater encoding of the system

on which the file is edited.

 

This genetates text with umlautes (the UTF8 problem)

Umlaute ä ö ü

 

And now with inputencoding{utf8}

\inputencoding{utf8}

Umlaute ä ö ü
