I just installed tex Live 2011 on a small netbook Wubi installation of Ubuntu 11.10. The new tex installation is in /usr/local/texlive/2011.
I would like to use it with LyX 2.0.0, installed from the Ubuntu repositories. Currently Lyx is using tex Live 2009 which was installed with the LyX installation. I realise this is an old LyX version but one step at a time. It looks fairly clear that I have to set some paths but just how to go about this is another matter. Searching showed up a couple of ideas (see below). However Ignacio's and Stefano's posts assume some knowledge of Linux: I have almost none. Possibly I can modify the paths following Ignacio's advice with a judicious bit of editing. Ideally I could substitute /i386-linux for /x86_64-linux However I have no clear idea where to put it. Ignatio's advice is to put it in .bashrc but so far, I have not found it. Could it be a difference in ubuntu 11.10? Currently when I do a tex -v I get: TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) kpathsea version 5.0.0 Copyright 2009 D.E. Knuth. When I try to invoked tlmgr I get: john@ubuntu:~$ tlmgr No command 'tlmgr' found, did you mean: Command 'vlmgr' from package 'qdbm-util' (universe) Command 'rlmgr' from package 'qdbm-util' (universe) tlmgr: command not found Any advice would be most welcome.
