Dear Scott,
I installed texlive2016 using install-tl (no options used) in
/usr/local/texlive/2016 after cleaning it with rm... (it was empty anyway).
However, I did not remove TexLive2013 as part of Mageia5's standard
installation (/usr/share/texmf-dist...).
The installation run with no errors and completed after 50 minutes
greeting me "Welcome to Tex Live!"
Then I set the path
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
Was it a mistake not to remove texlive2013 first because I cannot call
tlmgr? :-(
No mistake.
'tlmgr' should be in your path now as
'/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr'
How can I test the new texlive2016 installation?
# which latex
should give you /usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux/latex.

Hi Kornel,
thanks for your advice.
'tlmgr' is indeed here '/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr'
however, it points to: '../../texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl'
I recall now that I tried to somehow activate 'tlmgr.pl' under the texlive2013
installation and created a simbolic link:
'/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl /bin/tlmgr.pl'
Should I remove that link with: 'rm -f /bin/tlmgr.pl' ?
# which latex
returns: '/usr/bin/latex
Kindly advise how to fix all this and I am very sorry for the trouble I am
causing!
Michael
