Hi,
there are two scripts in unix bin directories:
fixmacps and includeres
which are non-portable:
fixmacps contains on line 11:
$dir = "/source_build_dir_of_tex_live/texmf/psutils";
and includeres contains on line 34:
local($inc) = "/source_build_dir_of_tex_live/texmf/psutils"; # system include directory
where /source_build_dir_of_tex_live is the source directory where
developer happened to build TeX Live before submitting binaries to
Sebastian.
I think that these scripts should be fixed to call
kpsexpand '$TEXMFMAIN'
to find the texmf directory, which seems more portable.
Otherwise, these scripts use a random directory which may not exist on
the target system where they will be run.
Best,
v.
