Hi everybody, Starting to try installing correctly tetex3 on ubuntu, I wanted to ask tons of questions. While formatting this mail, I've succeed in installing tetex3. Maybe what follows can be worth fore somebody more noooobie than me (is that possible?), or for a pre-beginner doc.
Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation and beginning of http://tug.org/teTeX/tetex-src/QuickInstall, i've :
dwld * tetex-src.tar.gz & tetex-texmf.tar.gz sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist
SHIT HAPPENS HERE : it's like i'm missing some basic commands, because if I type what next, term conplains : gzip -dc tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist; tar xvf -)
Can you try to discover what command is missing? (That is interesting information for Thomas Esser as well)
Cheers, Taco
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 -- olivier TURLIER
