How to install xdvi for TeX-GPC: Get the source from ftp http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi/xdvi-22.85.tar.gz It unpacks into xdvi-22.85. Edit config reflecting your binary directory, your man directory (i. e. a directory you have write permissions and has a subdirectory man1) and the resolution of your printer and then switch to xdvi-22.84 and run ../config && make clean && make && make install Unfortunately this neither works for NetBSD nor for Mac OS X. For NetBSD use this: ../config && make clean && make && ../load && make install For Mac OS X use this: Instead replace the configure script in xdvi-22.84 with macconfigure, and replace xdvi.h with macxdvi.h. The xdvi is configured soley by DVIPSconf/XDvi, move XDvi to DVIPSconf. And this does not work on Mac-OS-X. workaround: xrdb -merge DVIPSconf/XDvi You might want to change /etc/man.conf to include your private man pages. I boldly replaced the line _default /usr/{share,X11R6,pkg,local}/man/ to _default /usr/{helbig,share,X11R6,pkg,local}/man/ enjoy Wolfgang
