The command # gzip -dc tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist;tar xvf -)
was impossible : bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
I've tried , as a blind experiment : remove parenthesis, umask 022,
remove \, but still same kind of syntax error.
Will try to add this experience to ubuntu section, I've done the same
install @t home, everything was fine till to the end of the tetex3
installation page. I was only obliged to install twice cont-tmf.zip,
because I was not seing the line : used engineformatpath :
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-config/web2c/pdfetex/ (notice difference of
paths from wiki and mine)
echo $PATH
My only remaining pb is adding *tex* executables to the path. I've tried
several ways with no success, and emacs nor scite are tex aware :
$echo $SHELL : /bin/bash
so : $vim .bash_profile and add :
PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH; export PATH
on top of the file + reboot
texlive 2005 doc method :
$touch .profile
$ echo "export PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH" >>
.profile
$source .profile
redone the same for .bash_profile
will try to do it as root. I can only compile in a terminal, if I've typed
PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH; export PATH before in
the same session. What a pity !
Thanks a lot, Taco, for all your good info
