I tried to compile some trivial LaTeX file with the shipped XeLaTeX:

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `xelatex.fmt'! $ rpm -q texlive-xetex texlive-xetex-svn26330.0.9997.5-32.el7.noarch $ cat trivial.tex \documentclass{article}

\title{Hello World!}

\begin{document} \maketitle \end{document}

This seems to be broken. How can I fix it?

I'm not running LaTeX under CentOS-7, but under Fedora-20 your file compiled OK after "xelatex trivial". Actually, xelatex is just a link to xetex, and there is no xelatex.fmt . (xelatex is available after yum-installing texlive-xetex .) In my case tcfmgr lies in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig/ rather than /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/, and fmtutil.cnf is in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/.

Probably irrelevant to your problem. (You'd probably get a better response on the comp.text.tex newsgroup.)
