The standard TeX distribution for Unix will work for any SGI system.
You can get it via the CTAN network of FTP and Web servers.
A good starting point is http://jasper.ora.com/.

Dear Mr. Antonio Fernandez Ramos,

Well, Sorry that I cannot give you a direct help, I mean I don't have LaTex
program.
But I have a teTex and know where you acn find a download site .
" ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/comp/tex/teTeX" is the site
which I know and 
I think that you can get a teTex s/w from there..
It has a teTex package which can be installed on various platform such as
Solaris and SGI...
However, I hope I can be a small help to you...

Dr. Ramos:

The best LaTeX distribution I have found is
Thomas Esser's teTeX distribution.  It comes
complete with binaries for many useful tools.
In addition, I have never had a problem with
fonts with this distribution.

Two places to look for teTeX:
The primary site is:
	ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/comp/tex/teTeX

Also, you might look at the (La)TeX navigator
at this URL:
	http://www.loria.fr/tex/english/index.html
A search for teTeX in the CTAN archive will get
you multiple listings of tar files for different
operating systems, including IRIX5.3.

All LaTeX and TeX related things can be found on CTAN (ftp.tex.ac.uk or
ftp.dante.de). If you already have TeX, you'll find LaTeX in

tex-archive/macros/latex/base

If you don't have TeX yet, get the teTeX distribution from

tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX

You will find precompiled versions for some systems. If you don't find
binaries for the Indy (I don't see any), you can just get the source from

tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/distrib/sources/teTeX-src-0.4pl2.tar.gz

There is a convenient Makefile included.

You can get it from any of the so-called "CTAN" ftp sites;
Comprehensive Tex archive network or something like that.
there is one in Germany:
ftp.dante.de , directory pub/tex-archive

you have to either get  the UNIX version and compile it yourself
(I did this and it worked on a SGI Indy, IRIX v5.3)
then, you also need xdvi (previewer) and dvipsk (dvi-to-PostScript)
It cannot be called an official TeX though, since it didn't pass the 
strict tests that are included.. something wrong with floating point
rounding I believe.. It produces fine text though.

or, maybe you can get a binary version from somewhere..
You can have mine if you trust me. But it may be more educational (if you
have the time) to compile it yourself, or more safe (if you can find it)
to obtain a binary from a well-known ftp site.

The process goes like this, if I remember well (I probably don't remember well):
- compile the web2c compiler(s)
- compile tangle and weave, the web->TeX and web->Pascal compilers
- compile TEX.WEB to TeX and C; same for METAFONT
- compile the resulting C programs
- install virtex and initex, virmf and inimf
- compile the format files for plain TeX and LaTeX
- test if everything works
- compile the kpathsea library (for finding and automatically generating fonts)
- compile a basic set of font templates with METAFONT
- test if everything still works
- compile and install xdvi, dvips, dvilj and others you need
- (optional) compile a basic set of fonts; otherwise, the program does it
when you latex your first file (which can take a while).

This sounds difficult, but reading the README files, editing the configuration
files, and just typing one "make" got me already very far into the process.

Good luck,

try looking for a "vanilla" LaTeX together with an xdvi program for
previewing the dvi files or ghostview on converting the dvi files you
produce to ps. All of these packages are quite widely accessable via the
Internet.

Search for 
LaTeX:
DVIPS:
XDVI:
GHOSTVIEW:

these should all work on an SGI since motif windows is a super set of
x-windows.

I believe the teTeX distribution runs on SGIs.

The new distribution is available from
  sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de
  /pub/comp/tex/teTeX/distrib

 ...and mirror sites.   I am quite happy with it.

Hello,

you can find an excellent TeX package for almost any machine on 

ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/systems/unix/teTeX/distrib/

This package is called teTeX and contains everything you need to run 
LaTeX on your machine, including viewers, fonts, drivers and 
useful LaTeX packages. Precompiled binaries for IRIX 5.3 and IRIX 6.2 are 
available. 

Installation of the whole package is really simple.

Regards,

Peter

Dear Antonio,

a rather useful LaTeX package for UNIX workstations is teTeX. It comes with
sources. You just have to generate the makefile and compiler the package
(a C compiler is required only).
An archie search gave the following results (near to you):

Host ftp.ulpgc.es

    Location: /pub/big-mirr/one/sunsite/apps/tex
      DIRECTORY drwxr-xr-x       8192  Sep  4 01:22  teTeX

Host asterix.fi.upm.es

    Location: /pub/linux/apps/tex
      DIRECTORY drwxr-xr-x        512  Sep 17 23:33  teTeX

You may also refers to CTAN servers like ftp.dante.de

I assume you want a version of TeX (without which you won't be able to
run LaTeX, which is an add-on to TeX).
A server devoted to TeX is the following German server:

ftp.dante.de

Probably they also have binaries for Indys.

Alternatively, you might to consult archie:

   xarchie

Or, if there's no xarchie available:

   telnet archie.rediris.es

Using archie, you can search for keywords such as "tex" or "latex"

Another possibility is to use ftpsearch:

Point your favorite www-browser to

   http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no

hello antonio,
i saw your post on ccl regarding the indy version of latex.
can you please forward me whatever response you received on this issue?
many thanks!!                                                 chen

Hello Antonio,

Latex for SGI can be obtained from the package " teTex ". Have a look at 
"http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction " where you will find more explanation.
It is very easy to install, just run the menu driven installprogram.

Good luck
