Does Latex/Tex install? Does Latex/Tex work? How do you get it installed? How do you get it to work?


I have never been able to get the Tex stuff to work. I've never
even been able to install it successfully.

I admit it, I'm a dolt.

Anybody have the "magic beans" on this?

I've tried installing and reinstalling. Never can get it to work.

Here's some feedback from my last "install attempts":
--
Reinstalled, all of Tex:
* Publishing group, which includes: ec-fonts-mftraced
* Text group, which includes Jadetex
--
Popup window of setup:

Package: ec-fonts-mftraced
    postinstall-ec-fonts-mftraced.sh exit code 1
Package: Unknown package
    exim.sh exit code 1
    mined.sh exit code 1
--
isn't 'postinstall-ec-fonts-mftraced.sh' misnamed?

'cygcheck -c' as having problems:

I did notice in latex.log that it references a file:
"latex.aux". Is the file name extension a problem?
