Fatal Format File Error

Post by gigitrezzi »

Salve,

I updated my TeX Live to TeX Live 2013 and I can't use XeLaTeX any more, because when compile my code this is message:

Code: Select all

This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999 (TeX Live 2013/dev)
restricted \write18 enabled.
---! /home/panoramix/.texlive2012/texmf-var/web2c/xetex/xelatex.fmt doesn't match xetex.pool
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

I compile my XeLaTeX code with TeXworks and I use Fedora 18.

Thanks

This is no official release. TL2013 is officially planned for July 2013. Development versions are not suited for productive use.


Best regards and welcome to the board

I guess this "TeX Live 2013/dev" is a Fedora version, not the official TeX Live. There's not even a pretest version of TL 2013. Since Fedora follows the standard TeX Live, you could also install TeX Live 2012 and be up-to-date. Or is there a reason why you updated? You could keep all packages up-to-date with TL 2012 too.

If you cannot install a stable version from the Fedora repositories, I recommend to install the stable standard TeX Live version. Have a look at the article Installing TeX Live on Linux which was written using Fedora.

Hi,

I did as you suggested but I had to download 2616 files for more three hours and I gave up. I'll be using LaTeX.

Thanks
