heblatex difficulties: confirmation? solutions?



In case you have Latex on your machine, can you please confirm that the 
heblatex documentation has some minor problems to get compiled? You only need 
to follow some short instructions. No need for Tex knowledge for this part.

I would like to see what is happening so please email the typescript 
(heblatex.rec) to me.

1. script heblatex.rec

2. The following seems to run smoothly:

   2.1 obtain the 50k tar ball heblatex.tar.gz:

       wget http://dsg.technion.ac.il/heblatex/heblatex.tar.gz

       and

       mkdir heblatex
       tar -C heblatex -xzvf heblatex.tar.gz
       cd heblatex
       elatex hebrew.ins
       ls -LAR ./ > ls-R
       export TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf//:./:

3. Here comes the problematic stuff. Latex prompts me 4 times here, and I had 
to press <enter> in order for it to run its default actions:

   3.1 elatex hebrew.dtx

4. exit

The 4 Errors I got are: 

! LaTeX Error: \begin{center} on input line 2037 ended by \end{macro}.
! Package doc Error: Checksum not passed (3458<>3456).
! Package doc Error: Checksum not passed (1274<>1266).
! LaTeX Error: \begin{center} on input line 2034 ended by \end{document}.

The 2nd one (3458<>3456) seems to be due to the 
    % \CheckSum{3458}
line in heblatex/hebrew.dtx. Are there any side effects of replacing 3458 by 
3456 on this line?


Why do I bother with those problems? I am trying to have a Debian package and 
want it to be as clean as possible.

Thank you.
