Benjamin,

   Thank you for seeing what I missed. There was a freetype2 subdirectory in
/usr/local from 2010. I've removed it.

   Now I'm getting another error that tells me to look at the logs in
~/.texmf-var/web2c/, but there are no files in that directory. The full
output follows:

pdflatex -interaction batchmode ./alphabets-doc.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
fmtutil: running dfetex -ini   -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex
-translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdflatex.ini' ...
! I can't read pdfetex.pool; bad path?
Error: `pdfetex -ini  -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex
-translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdflatex.ini' failed

This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings:
`pdfetex -ini  -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex -translate-file=cp227.tcx
*pdflatex.ini' failed
warning: kpathsea: mktexpk output ! I can't read pdfetex.pool; bad path?'
instead of a filename.
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!

   There are no log files to examine. Please tell me what else I'm not seeing
in the above results that's preventing the SlackBuild script from
completing. There is no pdfetex-pool found on the system.

Thanks,

Rich
