>     export TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS='--without-graphite'

> at <http://www.tug.org/texlive/>.  I used rsync to grab a snapshot of
> the sources, as described in <http://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/>.  Then I
> followed the instructions at <http://www.tug.org/texlive/build.html> to

Thanks for the information
