Install the texlive-base and texlive-latex-base-doc packages (along with
its dependencies).  Then, at a command prompt, type:

  $ texdoc clsguide

This will report the following error message (assuming xpdf hasn't been
installed):

  sh: xpdf: not found

The expected result is that a PDF document (clsgiude.pdf) will be
located on the system and opened using the PDF viewer.

As a workaround, you can add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:

  export TEXDOC_VIEWER_PDF="(evince %s) &"

and then run:

  $ source ~/.bashrc

This will tell texdoc to use evince instead of xpdf as the PDF viewer.
You may have to set similar environment variables (e.g.,
TEXDOC_VIEWER_DVI) for other file types.
