Re: Install the whole TeX/LaTeX distribution
Do `yum provides LaTex`. That should tell you the package group name for LaTex. I am not sure what you are referring to when you when you say distribution. You can also browse through the package groups with `yum groups list` and `yum groupinfo groupname`. I'm not sitting in front of my SL box right now, but I think the package group you want is Authoring and Publishing. Yum is a nifty little package manager. Do `yum --help` and try the different options.

Re: Install the whole TeX/LaTeX distribution
The output of `yum grouplist` on SL6 includes TeX support and on SL5 includes Authoring and Publishing. Steven Yellin On Fri, 17 May 2013, John Hebert wrote: Do `yum provides LaTex`.

The script unscrambled things to the point that I was able to finish the job manually. I had a duplicate qt in both 32 bit and 64 bit. I removed the 32 bit. Now things are much better behaved. I also found that if you add --setopt=protected_multilib=false to your yum run string, you don't get the protected error, but the just kicks the can down the road. -T
my method of reinstalling wine on 64 bit
Hi All, I don't envy anyone who has to remove and replace Wine on 64 bit. Since I have ZERO 64 bit Windows apps (they don't run any faster anyway), I installed 32 bit wine. From what I can piece together from my command history, this is what I had to go through: # yum downgrade sqlite # yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false install openldap.i686 # yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false install gettext-libs.i686 # yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel* install wine-ldap.i68 # yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false install openldap.i686 # yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 # yum --setopt=protected_multilib=false --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel* install wine*.i686 Hope this helps someone else, -T
