Hi Patrick Thanks for the help. The default locations were indeed provided in square brackets but I didn't realize that they were the ones I was looking for. Anyways, I installed TexLive successfully as well as the required packages. But when I compiled the file using 'make', I get the following error:-
*** Unable to execute: 'xindy -L english -L english -C utf8 -I xindy -M "ubuntu-manual" -t "ubuntu-manual.glg" -o "ubuntu-manual.gls" "ubuntu-manual.glo"' *** Status report: *** - EVAL: variable /TMP/X46TWY0W65 has no value Google search didn't provide any solution to this problem. I am sorry to constantly bother you with these trivial problems. Thanks and hope I am not spoiling your weekend.
