Hi Patrick
That is definitely not the way to install TeX. Get a minimal TeX installation and copy all files. Don't even think of doing it on a simple file by file basis (unless you are an expert).
Thanks. Can you (or someone else) tell me what to download (or how to ./configure tex) in order to get the minimal requirements for texvc? I am not a tex-expert; I searched on dante.de a little bit, but unfortunately, I have really no idea what to get...
Thanks very much
