Dear BLFS Support List No latex command? texlive-20130530
I tried a local install inspired by: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/texlive.html I did not use the Texlive installer. Instead I downloaded the source tarball ftp://tug.org/texlive/historic/2013/texlive-20130530-source.tar.xz[1] ./configure --prefix=/home/magnus/opt/texlive \ --disable-native-texlive-build \ --enable-build-in-source-tree \ --without-luatex \ --enable-mktextex-default \ --with-banner-add=" - BLFS" make -j8 make install I get a working tex in /home/magnus/opt/texlive/bin: magnus@lfs ~> tex This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013 - BLFS) Question(s): Why did I not get a latex command in /home/magnus/opt/texlive/bin? Is the interactive texlive installer the only option? (and the source tarball is only a subset). The blfs build instruction starts with the texlive installer and the source install comes later. Is the texlive installer a mandatory step? Do I have to install Latex (scripts) separately? How? Am I missing a prerequisite package? ./configure did not complain. I have the following optional dependencies: ghostscript, Poppler, FreeType, Fontconfig, libpng, X Window System, ICU, Lua installed. I do not have GD, t1lib, ZZIPlib, CLISP, TECkit, and Graphite. Am I missing configuration date, ie TEXMFMAIN, TEXMFHOME, etc? Probably since I get: magnus@lfs ~/test/tex> tex test.tex This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013 - BLFS) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt tex.fmt /home/magnus/opt/texlive/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /home/magnus/opt/texmf- dist/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `tex.fmt'! tcfmgr script was installed in: /home/magnus/opt/texlive/share/texmf-dist/texconfig.
