How to use a patched version of pdftex?

Hello,
I would like to use a patched version of pdftex to be able to compile PDF/A compliant documents. Patch is here, and the compilation works without problems. However, I do not manage to use that compiled version of pdftex.
Using the instructions on running different versions of pdftex on Stackexchange or at rivervalley, I startle at the point where format files have to be generated:
## TeX.stackexchange answer
## create formats, using the new pdftex, and the ini files from the existing TeX installation
pdftex -ini -etex pdftex.ini # in the Stackexchange answer, pdftex.ini is used. In the other instructions, pdfetex.ini
pdftex -ini -etex pdflatex.ini
The ini files are not found by pdftex:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) (INITEX)
restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `pdfetex.ini'.
<*> pdftex.ini
Naturally there is not pdftex.ini, pdfetex.ini or pdflatex.ini in the working directory. In the file tree, the files of interest are present, and they are also found by kpsewhich:
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain/config/pdfetex.ini
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/pdflatex.ini
However, running the command with the full path, copying the files into the working directory, or running the command as superuser in those directories (bad idea, i know) does not work either. I guess my environment variables or other settings are not correct - does someone have a glue how to resolve this?
Thanks!
Edit: Cross-posted on Stackexchange: here. If that is discouraged, I can close this thread.

Hi,
have you searched in google by sap "country installation program" ? You´ll find plenty of documentation.

  • Where can i find a tutorial on how to use iMovie 2013 version?

    I've been making some clips anywhere from 6 seconds to 15 seconds long, and I just wanted if there are any good links on how to use iMovie 2013 version. I've looked on youtube but everything on their are old clips or small clips on how to run the program. I'm not an advanced user but i've picked up some of the basics on iMovie. I just want to learn the basics and advance onto the harder setups with iMovie. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to use two different versions of Firefox at the same time on Snow Leopard?

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0 on my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
    Previously, I was using Google's "Page Speed" along with Firebug in Firefox 3.6.15 to optimize images in my web pages, and to find other areas to optimize.
    Page Speed is not yet compatible with Firefox 4.0. I wrote to Google about this some time ago -- no answer yet.
    If I run Firefox 3.6.15 in order to use Page Speed, I run into a few problems afterward when I start using Firefox 4.0 again, since they both use the same "Firefox" folder in my "Application Support" folder.
    How can I set it up so that I can have two separate "Firefox" folders in my "Application Support" folder?
    Or is there an easier way to use two different versions of Firefox simultaneously, even if one has extensions and/or plug-ins installed which are not compatible with the other version?
    Thanks for a great browser!

    Please disregard my question. I just conducted more web search and learned how to use Firefox's profile manager in order to make a separate profile for Firefox 3.6.15.
    You can find instructions on this page:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles#os=mac&browser=fx35
    '''A small tip:'''
    If your Firefox app is named anything other than "Firefox" -- say for example "Firefox 3.6.15" -- when you follow the instructions at the above link, make sure you escape the blank space that is before the version number by adding a backward slash before it, when you type the command string in the Terminal. In other words, in that string, you should use this:
    Firefox\ 3.6.15
    I hope that helps someone.

  • How to use my Xerces version of choice?

    Hello,
    I am trying to unmarshall some xml DOM documents. My core irritation on this is the exception, that there would not be an implementation of org.apache.xerces.jaxp.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendarImpl. My XML files do contain some date information.
    javax.ejb.TransactionRolledbackLocalException: Exception thrown from bean: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.xerces.jaxp.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendarImpl
            at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.checkExceptionClientTx(BaseContainer.java:3731)I already had Xerces2-J 2.9.1 in my build-path and wondered how the exception could be real. Xerces2-J 2.9.1 contains an implementation for it. Now I wonder, if the JDK may contain an older version of xerces and: if yes, if this older version is used, although I have included a newer version in my project' libs.
    To get completely confused I made a new tutorial guided project with just some lines to unmarshall a really basic XML file and DID NOT include any libraries (no xalan, no xerces). The code was to read a XML file to DOM and then unmarshal it. And it worked. How can this be?
    -> How can I set my Xerces and Xalan version of choice for my own project?
    I am using this software:
    - NetBeans 6.5 bundled with GlassFish 2
    - Java SDK 6 update 12
    I want to use this software:
    - Xerces2-J 2.9.1

    Edited by: Bassspieler on Mar 9, 2009 8:04 AM

    OK, I made a plain new java-application project and it works just fine to unmarshall a tutorial example XML file, time and date mapped to XMLGregorianCalendar. The differences to my main projects are:
    - Java beans technology
    - Runtime environment: GlassFish 2
    - very complex XML schema and medium sized XML files (about 100kB)
    - Xindice XML repository to get DOM documents of XML files
    Maybe the noclassdef of XMLGregorianCalendar is just "fake" and another error causes this while unmarshalling some date informations the unmarshaller just can't handle?
    Here is a snippet of my stack trace:

  • How to use a java version on a CD application?

    i need to specify the location of a version of java on a cd, meaning that i want the java applet on the cd to use the version of java that i will supply on the cd, regardless of what is on the machine itself. can i do this? and how?
    thanks

    So you'd like to have people run your applets without having to install a JRE? I don't think that's possible. (That is: everything except for a paradox is possible, but it won't be worth the while.) I think your best shot will be to provide an URL to the sun site (where the latest JRE/plugin can be found).
    Kind regards,

    How to find version & patch of Sun JES Directory Server.

    Just look at your errors log file after you start up the directory server. If you are running Directory Server 6.0 you will find a line that looks like this:

  • How to use two different versions of the same jar within one project

    Hi everybody!
    I have a big problem while integrating different web service clients within one bigger java project. Both implemetations need some jar files to work but demand different version. So, i would like to know if there is any way to tell which implementation should use which version! Anyhow i add those jars to the classpath makes working only one or the other webservice working but never both! Any ideas somebody?
    Best regrads,
    Stefan G�tz

    Of course do have the jar files different names but the classes inside of them are the same ... means that the standard system classloader can distinguish them. When you add a jar to a classpath the name actually dosent matter.... any other ideas, please?
    PD.: i tryed to add a manifest file to the one jar which makes use of one of the dublicated jars to specify which jar to take direcly but it makes no difference since once classes loaded they cant be distinguish ....see:

    iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 0.8 (built Jul 12 2002)
    libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 0.8 (built 03:21:04, Jul 12 2002)
    SunOS mailru 5.8 Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
    I want to increase the HotFix to HotFix 1.25. What to do?
    Do I need to uninstall the HotFix 0.8?

    First, why would you specifically want 1.25, when later versions are available?
    I would put on 5.2p2, which is available publically. 5.2hf2.02 may be gotten from tech support.
    No, you do not need to remove the existing hotfix, nor do you need to apply each hotfix.
    The method for applying patch or hotfix is simple.
    Download. Unpack the archive. stop the server. Run the perl installer. start the server. Takes about 10 minutes, total.
    5.2p2 is available from here:
