Hi everybody,
Starting to try installing correctly tetex3 on ubuntu, I wanted to ask
tons of questions. While formatting this mail, I've succeed in
installing tetex3. Maybe what follows can be worth fore somebody more
nbie than me (is that possible?), or for a pre-beginner doc.
Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation
and beginning of http://tug.org/teTeX/tetex-src/QuickInstall, i've :
dwld * tetex-src.tar.gz tetex-texmf.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist
SHIT HAPPENS HERE : it's like i'm missing some basic commands,
because if I type what next, term conplains : gzip -dc
tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist;
tar xvf -)
Can you try to discover what command is missing? (That is interesting
information for Thomas Esser as well)
Cheers, Taco
The command # gzip -dc tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist;tar xvf -)
was impossible : bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
I've tried , as a blind experiment : remove parenthesis, umask 022,
remove \, but still same kind of syntax error.
Will try to add this experience to ubuntu section, I've done the same
install @t home, everything was fine till to the end of the tetex3
installation page. I was only obliged to install twice cont-tmf.zip,
because I was not seing the line : used engineformatpath :
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-config/web2c/pdfetex/ (notice difference of
paths from wiki and mine)
echo $PATH
My only remaining pb is adding *tex* executables to the path. I've tried
several ways with no success, and emacs nor scite are tex aware :
$echo $SHELL : /bin/bash
so :$vim .bash_profile and add :
PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH; export PATH
on top of the file + reboot
texlive 2005 doc method :
$touch .profile
$ echo export PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH
.profile
$source .profile
redone the same for .bash_profile
will try to do it as root. I can only compile in a terminal, if I've typed
PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH; export PATH before in
the same session. What a pity !
Thanks a lot, Taco, for all your good info
