Hi, I finally decided to try lerning doing typesetting with LaTeX.
I had already installed tetex-packages when I was installing linux, but when I tried to use LaTeX it comlained about missing files. I reinstalled tetex-packages using dselect, but even during installation some files were missing. The packages I installed (or I tried to install:-) were tetex-base0.4pl6-5, tetex-bin0.4ps-6-8, and tetex-extras0.4ps6-4. >From the installation error-file (from dpkg) obviosly some files are missing, like texmf.cnf, language.dat... I tried searching for those files but they are not on my hard drive. Perhaps all those files get installed with some other package, but dselect didn't show any dependencies. Anybody knows what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help in advance Luka The error output from installation of tetexbase, tetexbin, and tetexextra with dpkg/dselect: kpsetool: texmf.cnf not found. texhash: global Kpathsea configurarion file texmf.cnf not found.
