Hi,
Thanks for your answer and sorry for the late feedback.
In fact I still had the same problem even with adding TeX Live to my PATH.

About symlinks, I didn't explicitly ask TeX Live to install this way, I
just ran the default install-tl Perl script.
Anyway I finally solved the problem using the equivs package as explained
