problem building bidi package
Unicorn Meta Zoo #1: Why another podcast?
Announcing the arrival of Valued Associate #679: Cesar ManaraHow can you use both fontspec and xmpincl?XeLaTex and TexMaker “cannot-use-pdftex”textsubscript no longer works with xetexprintbibliography fails outputwordcount with xesearch errorshypertarget{}{} does not create anchors when compiled with xelatexfrench: Add usepackage{fontspec} to the preamble of your documentPlacing xelatex.exe Intermediate and Output Files in Another FolderFatal error in latexXetex stopped working after update to Mojave
I downloaded the most current zip file for the 'bidi' package from CTAN and attempted to build it.
First I ran sudo latex bidi.ins which ran with no errors. Next, I ran this: sudo latex bidi.dtx
which throws this error:
! Fatal fontspec error: "cannot-use-pdftex"
and indicates either XeLaTeX or LuaTeX must be used instead to build it. So I tried this:
sudo xelatex bidi.dtx
which throws this error:
! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
!
! The font "Minion Pro" cannot be found.
Seems odd this package should look for a specific font.
I tried installing the bidi package through a texlive package available through the Debian (XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99996 TeX Live 2016/Debian for stretch and jessie) package installer, but that version of bidi throws errors like this one when run with XeLaTeX:
! LaTeX Error: Command XeTeX already defined.
Can anyone point me to a version of bidi that actually works?
Thanks

Perhaps, which is why I tried installing the most recent version of bidi from from CTAN, which is presumably the same one I'm going to get from the TexLive net installer. But, as I mentioned, that version doesn't build cleanly on my system. The bidi.sty file that does get built gives the same errors as what appear with the Debian package.

The core issue was this command:
usepackage{xltxtra}
causes errors to be given when using TeX Live 2016 packages in conjunction with polyglossia and bidirectional languages. I've only seen this in a Debian-based installation, but it may appear elsewhere. Prior to the 2016 build, xltxtra didn't cause a problem.
