I am trying to upgrade from TexLive 2009 to TexLive 2011 on Ubuntu 12.04 to use with LyX 2.0.2. Ubuntu's repositories have only the 2009 package.
Working on a ASUS X53U 64 bit machine, dual boot with Windows 7 I managed to get 2011 working on Ubuntu 11.10 following Stefano Franchi's excellent set of instruction at http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg91608.html Unfortunately a power surge took out that machine and I am now trying to get things back to normal on the new machine The story so far: Removed TexLive 2009 using Synaptic Package Manager. Downloaded and unpacked install-tl-unx.tar.gz Ran install-tl : Installation appeared to be successful john@john-K53U:~$ ls /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin i386-linux john@john-K53U:~$ export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux:$PATH john@john-K53U:~$ tex -v TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2011) kpathsea version 6.0.1 ---cut--- john@john-K53U:~$ I then put export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux:$PATH in my .profile and restarted the terminal john@john-K53U:~$ tex -v The program 'tex' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install texlive-binaries john@john-K53U:~$ LyX shows all classes unavailable. It reconfigures in about 2 secs! Can anyone suggest some cures or should I head for a Ubuntu/Latex forum or list? Thanks
