</h1>
<hr>
<h2><a name="s3.1"></a>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><a name="s3.2"></a>3.2 Note on <code>dvipdfm</code></h2>
<p>
The Debian TeX Live packages currently do not evaluate the settings of
<code>/etc/papersize</code>, please 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><a name="s3.3"></a>3.3 “TeX capacity exceeded” and similar errors</h2>
<p>
In most cases, this error is the symptom of a syntax error in the
document—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 <code>/etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf</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>)).
