Following the above as a cookbook approach there is a problem with the texexec line. First I should mention that my default system path points to the TeXLive path of /usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux. so texexec --make --all will execute that program. If I go to the new texexec and execute it specifically: /usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/bin/texexec --make --all then it can't find Ruby. Also, the setuptex program as distributed is not marked as executable. If i mark it as executable and execute it the execution is in the blink of an eye. I am not sure it actually does anything. When I do set |less the value of TEXROOT does not show up. In the directory usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/bin if I execute ./pdfetex I get version 1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3 But if I go to /usr/share/texmf/bin (the Slackware distribution of TeX) and execute ./pdfetex I get 1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) So the download of linuxtex.zip from Pragma gives an older version of crucial software than the straight Slackware install. Hence I will revert to that path.
