Good luck, but don't put pressure on yourself to get editing done. > > But I do not have libkpathsea anywhere. I think that is the difference between binary texlive and the (full, or overfull if you are a traditionalist ;-) source install. From source, it goes into /usr/lib. From the binary install, it perhaps gets statically linked into the programs which reference it. Kpathsea is intended to be used from within TeX, although we now know that (at least) evince can use it - and Armin's reply clarified that it gets dynamically linked (you can see it in tha archives if you dropped it). > > Think I did not install complete TeX, and will do it again perhaps > tomorrow.

I've looked at a log of what got installed by install-tl-unx, and libkpathsea.* is not there, so using the binary will probably not work. Also, using evince to view even postscript, let alone dvi files, is not a common requirement - I'm sure most users, even in BLFS, can get by without them. > > If necessary, will ask again your help. > No problem. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
