I recently attempted to install the TL6 on hpux 11.00. When we attempt to
use latex, it gives the following error message:
fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 648256 bytes).
Error: `tex -ini -fmt=latex -progname=latex latex.ini' failed

This is a summary of all `failed' messages:
`tex -ini -fmt=latex -progname=latex latex.ini' failed
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
**q
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

I'm somewhat confused since we have ~2GB of memory on this processor. (The
machine is an 4 CPU N-class box.)

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to circumvent the problem. I tried
using hugetex and received the same error.
I installed and performed this last test as root.

Thanks.

Bill
