 Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 5:56 pm Post subject: [solved] Latex is dead-slow |
 |
|
When I use pdflatex (or latex or tex) to compile a small tex file it needs 5-6 minutes. A friend of mine tried the same file and it took only a few seconds. Latex also needs about 3 minutes to notice if a give him a file, that doesn't exists:
| Code: | $ time pdflatex bsp1.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `bsp1.tex'.
<*> bsp1.tex
Please type another input file name:
real 3m2.463s
user 1m31.570s
sys 0m23.515s |
Something is very wrong here?! But I have no idea what or how to debug this??? Someone help me please 
I have texlive 2007
| Code: | and ~ # eix -e texlive

Try | Code: | | strace -rT pdflatex bsp1.tex |
(dev-util/strace if you don't have it already) and post the output somewhere. If it's long, either use a pastebin, or just post the part around where it's slow. |

And now it looks for .texmf-config in ALL files in my home dir ... Thats the part that needs a lot of time ...
Hm ... apparently it only sucks for my user, with a different user everything is fine ...

There should be a block like | Code: | % TEXMFCONFIG, where texconfig stores configuration data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $HOME/.texmf-config # teTeX 3.0 default
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
TEXMFCONFIG = $HOME/.texmf-config |
in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05searchpaths.conf. Does yours look different?
EDIT: or does your $HOME variable end in a slash? |
