xetex seems to be just a pdflatex

[Jens Rehsack]

Hi,

some time ago I prepared a slide for niederrhein.pm and aked for some help in a LaTeX newsgroup.
Beside some other things, Herbert Voss told me that I could use pstricks directly without the indirection over latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf using xetex. But it seems (at least my) xetex from pkgsrc behaves just as pdflatex.

Is it just my installation which is probably broken (and how can I clean restart - read: after pkg_delete all latex packages, what do I have to remove?) or is it a general problem?

If someone wants to test out-of-the-box - it's not a small one but when that does with xetex, it's mine what's broken: https://github.com/rehsack/Moo-at-App-Math-Tutor

Cheers

You may need xetex-pstricks (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xetex-pstricks), which we don’t have in pkgsrc yet.
