<h2 id="s3.1">3.1 Note on <code>dvips</code></h2>

<p>
Per default, <code>dvips</code> is in secure mode and won't execute shell
commands in <samp>\special</samp> commands, like backticks in
<samp>\DeclareGraphicsRule</samp>, etc.  To enable this, change <samp>z1</samp>
to <samp>z0</samp> in <code>/etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps</code> (second entry).
</p>

<hr>

<h2 id="s3.2">3.2 Note on <code>dvipdfmx</code></h2>

<p>
The Debian TeX Live packages do evaluate the settings of
<code>/etc/papersize</code>, please configure your preferred paper size with
<code>paperconfig</code>.  Alternatively, and more portable, thus recommended,
set the paper geometry explicitly in the (La)TeX source, e.g.  using the
packages <samp>geometry</samp> or <samp>hyperref</samp>.
</p>

<hr>

<h2 id="s3.3">3.3 &ldquo;TeX capacity exceeded&rdquo; and similar errors</h2>

<p>
In most cases, this error is the symptom of a syntax error in the
document&mdash;TeX is getting into an infinite loop, and after some time all
its internal registers have been used.  Sometimes, however, a large document
that loads a package that uses a lot of TeX's registers leads to that error, or
to a similar error message.  The package documentation, the Google archive, or
TeX-related mailing-lists or newsgroups will be helpful to find out which
parameter needs to be changed in <code>/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf</code> (or rather
in one of the files under <code>/etc/texmf/texmf.d/</code>, (see <a
href="ch2.html#s-sec-texmfcnf-and-update-texmf"><code>texmf.cnf</code> and
<code>update-texmf</code>, Section 2.4.1</a>)).
