Dear folk, I am just switching (finally!) to Linux from Windows (Suse 8.0) and I'm running into a number of configuration problems (note that I am very new to Linux/Unix as well). I installed teTeX from TeXLive6 (Suse actually has a more recent teTeX but I need Omega1.15:->):
1. I can't get my path commands to stick. When I issue export PATH=$PATH:/usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux I have to reissue it each time I log in and sometimes more often. I have issued this command as root, and the problem still wont go away; 2. mktexlsr does not update everything. I have added my former texmf-var tree to teTeX, but mktexlsr gives mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/db/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /var/cache/fonts/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. ignoring /usr/TeX// entirely. I have not changed anything in texmf.cnf; 3. Clicking on the shell script for oxdvi gives the following message: Couldn't find the program 'oxdvi'' The xdvi shell script works fine. Any idea what's wrong? This of course makes it hard to link to oxdvi from KDE. Thnx in advance for your kind help. Please bear with me as I get used to doing things the Unix/teTeX way!
