Description of problem: I wrote a spec file for packaging emacs-auctex : http://git.deap.eu/?p=rpm;a=blob_plain;f=SPECS/emacs-auctex.spec;hb=HEAD When I try to build the rpm, it produces a fatal xmalloc (see attached file) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just try to build emacs-auctex A simple solution is to use /usr/bin/pdftex instead of /usr/bin/tex. We should rename /usr/bin/tex as /usr/bin/tex_old and symlink /usr/bin/pdftex to /usr/bin/tex. Regards David
Created attachment 707 [details] rpmbuild output Here is rpmbuild output.
Do you know of any reason why we should keep the "old" tex? Since it doesn't work (on x86-64?) and as far as we know pdftex is a full replacement based on the same sources, I'm in favour of removing the "old" tex completely (and provide the symlink of course).

It seems to be a packaging issue, there is no problem like that on other distros. I'm not following this bug any more so if nobody is concerned, please close. Regards
