I have received a request before to get rid of the aeguill or some such, the
special wolfmarks around a word that look like mini- less-than and greater-than
marks; they look much nicer than <<this>> . It is the most flagrant foul in our
current book source as far as I know, requiring a french package. So far I
have not been willing to make the book uglier in order to make it easier to
compile, but I would welcome solutions to this and other obstacles that we may
identify. In the meantime, if you don't feel like installing all of latex,
enjoy the Unicon book in its PDF format! I am sympathetic to the pain, but
thusfar the requisite latex packages have not proven all that difficult to
install and use. Too bad latex isn't smart enough to autoinstall stuff on
demand!
Cheers,
Clint

Good evening/morning to all,
For those who may be attempting to create a new pdf from the Unicon TeX
sources, I have the following story.
If, like me, you are running on a Centos 6 system, the make file
provided will probably fail (if you are using tex-live as supplied).
There are missing macros which do not seem to be available in the distro
version of tex-live.
For building the UP docs and other Sphinx TeX output related materials, I
usually install texlive-full, it's a few gigabytes of install, and most
components sit idle, never used, but it saves on thinking through the thousands
of sub packages. After that, things all come together, dependencies met. On
this Xubuntu 16.04 box, and the Fedora 24 system, the makefile for ub.pdf just
works. Can't say which package(s) from the complete Tex suite make it work,
but it does.
I suggest to those who experience this that you download the tex-live
2016 DVD iso and do a clean install using that. I did have problems
trying to do a net install of tex-live 2016 (failed 1/2 way through with
a hard non-resumable error). Do your install of the new tex-live and
after completing any path changes required, log-out, log-in and run make
and you will have the new version.
To the Authors, looks good with the changes that I have seen so far.
Thank you for your efforts in this work.
Agree. Kudos deserved.
Cheers,
Brian
