   while following your method, when i did “make world” its exiting after giving this error.

   /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so when searching for -lXt
   /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a when searching for -lXt
   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXt

   Hi Burad,

   I rechecked it. I found that I have the same errors. I think they change some software package. However, you can compile teTeX on your local computer and then upload it to HM. Finally you can run

   texconfig

   to set environment in HM.

   thanks for your help..actually the steps you have mentioned worked for 32 bit machines and ours are 64 bit configs.
   So you need to change ./configure step to make it work for 64 bit.

   CC=”gcc ${BUILD64}” CXX=”g++ ${BUILD64}” USE_ARCH=64 \
   ./configure –prefix=/home/username/local/teTeX/ \
   –enable-shared \
   –without-texinfo \
   –with-x=no \
   –with-system-ncurses \
   –with-system-zlib &&
   [ -f texk/libtool ] && sed -i “/sys_lib_search_path_spec=/s:/lib:&64:g” texk/libtool;

   After this i followed the rest of steps as mentioned..and its working

   Also will compiling on my local machine and uploading binaries on hostmonster. I doubt it wont work as both machine are having seperate config.

    @burad

    I think there will be no problems. I also succeed installing texlive on HM. I will write about this soon when I have free time.

    Thanks for your contribution anyway.
