I saw a similar error for the cmd 'latex' somewhere else. I looked in the

Wow, somebody apart from me building asymptote! Thanks for that.
(I only put it in the book because somebody noticed our old 'build
texinfo from source on top of the binary' process did not actually
rebuild asymptote, biber, or xindy.)
It looks as if root does not have
/opt/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-linux/ on his PATH.
As root (and indeed as a user, but I doubt you could have got this
far without it being on the user's PATH), 'which pdflatex'.

Hi Ken,
I don't know of any reason I actually need this package. I only
started building it because you mentioned it at the end of the
instructions. I am thinking right now that I am going to rm -rf the
created structure in /opt for the texlive package and try the install
again. You are right about not having the PATH including this directory.
At first that was true. I think I followed all the instructions but
after I got to asymptote I started to try and figure out what was going
on and I found the PATH wrong and the links above. I didn't count them
but there are quite a few like this. After I found all this out I went
back and su to root and built the PATH manually and re-ran the make
install but it didn't fix it. I am thinking if the whole file structure
for the bin directory is gone it will rebuild it correctly. After seeing
what you said I am thinking if that doesn't work I'll just forget about
this package but it still leaves me with a broken texlive bin directory.
That may be a bit bigger concern.
