This is most likely a problem with your LaTeX installation, as the latex.fmt
file should be part of your LaTeX install; on my Debian Linux machine, it l=
ives
in /var/lib/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt, but I don't have a Solaris machine to fi=
nd=20
it on handy. If "find / | grep latex.fmt" (and there are probably better wa=
ys=20
to do that) doesnt' show you any files, you're probably missing something.=
=20
Whatever problems you do have with your LaTeX build are probably best solved
elsewhere.
In the process of looking at this problem, I did generate ps files of the
document you wanted. I put them in http://yiff.mit.edu/kerberos-temp/ so
that you are spared the pain of debugging LaTeX if you don't have time to=
=20
do that right now. Of course, these files come with no warranty, the server
makes no claims of uptime, I probably won't do this again, I am not a LaTeX
preprocessor, etc. etc. :)
I also noticed a couple of things about the documentation tarball that might
be of more general interest:
(1) the root makefile seems to depend on the source tree being available
(2) the LaTeX documents are LaTeX2.09 and not LaTeX2E (Kerberos is old. Wai=
t,
"mature." Let's call it mature.)
Are these things that anyone actually cares about fixing? If so, I would be
happy to put in a couple of hours and submit a patch.
