Re: [PLUG] File permissions issue
If you skipped the t/ series during installation then you can install it one of 2 ways. If you have the install media then you can manually install the packages located in slackware64/t/*.txz. install/upgrade pkg doesn't know where to look you have to give a path and it does not support network locations. $ installpkg path/to/package.txz Most people prefer to configure slackpkg since that provides the familiar apt or yum style procedure. Just uncomment a mirror in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and do the following: $ slackpkg update $ slackpkg search tex (to make sure the mirror was properly retrieved) $ slackpkg install texlive xfig fig2dev texinfo -Ben --- Original Message --- On Friday, December 2nd, 2022 at 4:27 PM, Robert Citek wrote: > I guess I was a bit terse.

Re: [PLUG] File permissions issue
I guess I was a bit terse. I'm trying to replicate your setup. So, when I was asking what commands you ran to install the package, what I really meant to ask was what commands would I need to run in order to create a replica of your system. Of course, if you don't provide complete information to me, it makes replicating your setup a bit more ... challenging. But to answer your question: no, I do not have TeXLive 2021 installed in my Slackware environment.

Second, try calling the symlink using the absolute path: /usr/bin/texindy.

I took a look at the script and yes, it clearly does want to run as a symlink. I don't exactly what it is trying to do, but I can recommend 2 things to try. First is to make sure you have all the correct paths. You are linking to /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texindy.pl but a stock install of the same package puts them in /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/xindy/texindy.pl. It could be that something got moved around? Second, try calling the symlink using the absolute path: /usr/bin/texindy.
