Text Formatting ⇒ Script-generated Output vs. manually created Output

[koszta5]

Hi,

I am having a really weird problem - when I run PDFLaTeX within my Perl script the PDF file doesn't get generated properly ...

I run

Code: Select all

pdflatex -output-directory /tmp /tmp/perl.tex

When I run it like that I get this in the log file:

Code: Select all

[1{/usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
Error: pdflatex (file /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map):
 fflush() failed
 ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!

Now the funny part is when I run it normaly from the command line with the same .tex file (pdflatex -output-directory /tmp /tmp/perl.tex) I dont get any errors and the PDF file is generated just fine.

What the heck is the problem?! When I run the PDFLaTeX command from any script (Perl, bash...) it doesn't work and gives me the error shown above, but when I run it manually there is no error and it works... Can anybody help?
