Re: Fwd: Re: libkpathsea3 and tetex

[Jule]

Hey Mats,

thanks for all the info, yeah i tried all those, but it still comes down to 
the problem that when i try to install ksepathsea3 it conflicts with 
tetex-bin and lib and when i try to install those it conflicts with 
ksepathsea3 so i think i'll just wait untill i get my new distro (Libranet 
2.0, which runs woody) and theoretically it should work fine on that, in the 
mean time i'll just have my friend convert my .ly's to .ps's and .midi's

thanks a lot for all the help.

Jule
