Do you read from bottom to top? In the first line it says it cannot locate Perl module Digest/MD5.pm, so that's what you should install first.

I would begin with using the TeX Live that is included with Fedora 17, install optional packages as needed and don't mix with stuff installed from source. # yum list texlive\*|wc -l 4770 -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) - Linux 3.9.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc19.x86_64 loadavg: 0.34 0.43 0.24 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
