Doh! I see, texk/kpathsea/texmf.cnf in the texlive source. Running the sed on the first one got me past that problem, but now at updmap-sys I get: root@eccles:/home/andy$ updmap-sys Can't locate TeXLive/TLUtils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/tlpkg /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.14.1/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.14.1 .) at /usr/bin/updmap line 18. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/updmap line 18. I can see TeXLive/TLUtils.pm in the texlive-20110705-source but Bruce's install method doesn't install it. mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.1/TeXLive cp utils/biber/TeXLive/*.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.1/TeXLive After that the rest of the "Configuring TeX Live" commands worked. However, when I come to try and use it: andy@eccles:~$ tex example1.tex This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2011 - BLFS) fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 18446744071586067984 bytes). It appears it's trying to allocate 17179869182.02 gigabytes of memory. It could well be user error on my part but I still have the impression that this is a steaming pile of unmaintained rubbish.
