http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/pst/tex-path.html "Before starting to build TeX Live, set up your PATH so that the system can properly find the files. If you set up your login scripts as recommended in The Bash Shell Startup Files, update the needed paths by appending to the extrapaths.sh script. [...] export TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') && [...] pathappend /opt/texlive/2016/bin/$TEXARCH" Personally I *don't* use the book's way of setting up the bash files, but the process on that page still looks correct. And if it is indeed incorrect, I will have to man up and take the blame. It looks as if TEXARCH was not set when you adjusted the PATH. > You folks have done a wonderful job!
