This is my first posting on this net. I need to install TeX3.14 & MetaFont on 
a SPARCstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1.1. I could not modify the master makefile
successfully to install it. I would very much appreciate a master makefile for the above arch. and OS! Or some pointers or ANYTHING!!! 
I get stuck in the   make formats part.

This is the error I get:


amnese(41)% make formats
cd tex; TEXPOOL=.; export TEXPOOL; make formats="tex.fmt latex.fmt slitex.fmt" fmts
./initex plain \\dump
This is TeX, C Version 3.14t3 (INITEX)
! I can't find file `plain'.
<*> plain 
	  \dump
	  Please type another input file name: 




Thanks in advance.
