note that there are two strands of tex live: (a) the one supplied when you install things from .rpm or .deb, and (b) the one you download from the net and install for yourself. strand (a) typically doesn't have a tlmgr script; you're expected to download things packaged by the linux(/whatever) distribution. (in fact, i would doubt if strand (a) even had a "texlive/2012/texmf/scripts" path, but i can't test that immediately.) > (maybe 2013 in your case) and add it to your PATH. Do `hash -r` > otherwise your system might remember that it could not find tlmgr. i contest the suggestion that someone coming back to tex "cold" might seek out and download the current frozen beta-release of tl 2013! (raphaela may have a local helper, but if that helper is "hot" enough to know about tl 2013, it's a bit odd that she needs _our_ help.) i would go with the idea that raphaela is using a standard .deb/.tpm installation. robin (who mostly sits on the sidelines of this list...) ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
