Dear List, I'm struggling trying to configure texdoctk to recognize the documentation in my local texmf tree (/usr/local/share/texmf/doc). I've peeked at the texdocrc file, which has these relevant lines:
# root of doc directory (from $TEXMFMAIN) TEXDOCPATH=../doc/texmf # root of local doc directory (from $TEXMFLOCAL) # can be left empty if equal to TEXDOCPATH or if $TEXMFLOCAL is undefined LOCALDOCPATH= Issuing the command "kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMF'" confirms that my local tree is in the search path, so I supposed leaving LOCALDOCPATH empty should be OK. It's not, so I made a copy of this file as ~/.texdocrc and explicitly set that variable to my local documentation tree (see above). It's still not OK. The man page for texdoctk points to a texdoc-local.dat file that can be set up, but no instructions on how to do that. I'd like to keep my main texmf tree intact, so I can smoothly upgrade tetex in the future. Any help setting this up would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Sebastian
