I attempted to install TeX on a Sun Sparcstation. I got the web2c source
and tried to follow the directions in the README file. When the make came
to the tangle command, I found that I did not have all of the data files
required. I went back to the net and got the web.tar file that contains
the data files for web2c. Then I continued and everything compiled until
it got to "make bases". Then I found that I was missing some more data
files. So I went back to the net again and found some of what I was missing.
Finally, I will get to the point. I never did get everything installed
because I eventually got to some data files I could not find. I need one of
two questions answered:
1) Is there detailed instructions for installing TeX and all the data
files that I need as well as where to find these files?
2) What I really needed was a converter to convert a TeX file to
postscript but I do not want to have to have TeX installed. Does
anybody know where to find this?
