Yes, TLConfig.pm is part of unpacked source, but not "installed" in
"dist", that is ./usr/source/texlive-20130530-source/dist

I would rather not install in /usr at this stage.

You are right. There is apparently much more to do besides configure,
make and make install. The BLFS Book starts with the installer. The
source build as stated, is for updating the applications in "bin".

Dear Mr. Larsson:
Running "make" and "make install" are only the beginning.
You also need to populate the texmf tree with all of the macros,
configure various options (via texconfig-sys), run mklinks to create the
symbolic links, and run
fmtutil-sys --all
and
updmap-sys
together with frequent runnings of mktexlsr.
Mostly the source tree is there if you want to recompile something and
replace a binary in an existing tex installation, or if you are repackaging
TeX Live (e.g., for Debian Linux). If you want to do more than the former,
then you'll need to learn more about how TeX runs. (I am not offering
to teach you.)
Sincerely,
Paul Vojta

I have just updated the PATH, to point to the "bin" directory in "dist"
from ./Build (=configure, make, make install). This is probably not
enough. The BLFS book updates only PATH, MANPATH and INFOPATH though.

I appreciate your feedback and help. I will put Texlive BLFS on hold
until I find out more from [email protected]. Or I will run the installer.
