Hello,
Sorry to disturb you,
My name is Nicolas Bourdon, I'm trying to build texlive, and as I
don't arrive to build texlive from the source, i saw in the README
file that I can send you a mail if I don't arrive:I hope you could
answer me, thank you.

I tried to build it on two different computer, under ubuntu linux
10.10 under vmware which runs on windows, I newly installed ubuntu,
and before I launch the ./Build command I installed G++, ncurses lib.

I use the command:
./Build --without-x --disable-xindy --disable-xetex
--disable-xdvipdfmx --prefix=/home/nicolas/Bureau/texlive_install/
(Bureau from french = Desktop in english).

and It output me after about 30 minutes of compilation inside the whole text:
../../../texk/dvipng/dvipng.test: 9 : kpsewhich: not found
"kpsewhich mktex.cnf" failed


and

./dvips: DVI file can't be opened: ../../../texk/dvipsk/testdate.quotecmd.dvi:
No such file or directory
PASS: quatecmd-test.pl

and lot of other messages.


I believed I forget to install a program, but I don't know what it is?

Thank you if you can help me.
