Slackware :: Update Texlive (tlmgr): No Texlive.tlpdb
Mar 27, 2011I am running texlive-20100722. To build it I have used a modified version ot Robby's SlackBuild. Now I need to update the pgf package. The package manager for texlive is tlmgr. However, when I issue:
Code:
tlmgr update pgf
I get:
[QUOTE]/usr/share/texmf/bin/tlmgr: open(/usr/share/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb) failed: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 282.[QUOTE]
Some googling revealed that texlive.tlpdb is the installation�s TEX Live Package Database. However, in my installation is is not present.
Slackware :: Texlive With Xindy In 13.1?
Jun 8, 2010compiling texlive2009 from slackbuilds.org with xindy on 13.1. I need xindy for my documents so I had no option but to solve the issue. I turned out that I had to remove clisp, install libsigsegv with the option "--enable-shared", then build clisp without libsigsegv (the stock clisp ships with libsigsegv built in), and then texlive2009 compiles ok.Maybe it would be better if Slackware shipped with libsigsegv compiled with shared libraries? xindy is really important for non latin alphabets.

Oct 14, 2010I recently installed a Slackware-13.1 32 bit system and I encountered an odd problem. I had a texlive-2010 package from slackbuilds.org, previously compiled on another 32 bit Slack-13.1 system. I just installed the precompiled package on the new system. However, whenever I tried to issue a latex command, kpathsea complained that it cannot find the shared library file libkpathsea.so.6. I googled a bit and I found that this could be circumvented by setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to "/usr/share/texmf/lib", where the library in question actually is.
This solved the problem. The weird thing is that on other machines I have installed, kpathsea had no issues whatsoever and I did not have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The only difference is that on those systems I had compiled and installed texlive, not just installing a precompiled package. Could that be causing the issue?

General :: Why Upgrade / Install Of TeXLive On Fedora12 Does Not Create Directory
Mar 19, 2010Does anybody know why the upgrade/install of TeXLive on Fedora12 does not create the directory /usr/local/ texlive/2009.I have seen this directory mentioned for other 2009s, but when I installed 2009 it did not create this. (Or, maybe there was some problem... ?) It is only slightly relevant because (sudo) texhash does not include any /usr/local directories in 2009, only /usr/share.
In my 2007 version I had the usual /usr/local/share/texmf/tex structure in which I place /latex and a /bibtex. I had read/write access and so I placed all my .sty and .bib files, as well as image files and other stuff I shared between projects. Now, I have a ~/texmf with /tex and /bibtex and have gotten rid of /latex subdirectory. Now I don't have to texhash when I add new stuff.Other than this, is there any reason why Fedora TeXLive-2009 would not create /usr/local/texlive ? (Unless this is because, as the wiki page notes , "it is in testing state so bugs could occur."

Fedora :: TeXLive Not Updating Due To Missing Dependency
Nov 27, 2009I (or rather, the Yum auto-update) try to update the TeXLive on my FC11 machine but the update fails due to 'missing dependency', spitting out
Missing Dependency: libpoppler.so.4()(64bit) is needed by package texlive-2007-46.fc11.x86_64 (updates)
And strangely now (perhaps for a combination of reasons) I cannot use my auctex. I would like to finish this update anyway, and tried to find libpoppler.so.4 separately, which I haven't yet been able to locate. Poppler itself is installed and updated, and I do see libpoppler.so.5 in my system. So where would I find libpoppler.so.4 on its own? Or should I perhaps downgrade poppler?
Fedora :: Texlive Source In Hong Kong?

Ubuntu :: Local Directory Update: Texlive
Mar 9, 2010I've recently had to update my own package blah.cls in the texlive distro on Ubuntu. I duly put it in /usr/local/share/texmf and ran texhash and mktexlsr (the latter just in case). The database has updated: checked with kpsewhich.
Now the problem: I'm able to compile my Latex file using that package blah.cls only when I run latex (or Kile, or gedit) in sudo mode. When I run it with no sudo, the error is "can't find the package blah.cls" Obviously other files compile nicely, sudo or no sudo.
Ubuntu :: Get A Template Working With Texlive In Karmic?
Jun 2, 2010I'm trying to get a template working with texlive in Karmic. When I try to compile normally, I get errors that it can't find certain .sty files, which are part of the standard packages that get installed. (amsmath.sty, etc... graphics.sty, xspace.sty). If I run latex with sudo, the problem disappears. I guess this has something to do with file read permissions. So I found where all of these files are located and did:
Code:
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/
This did not solve the problem. Does anybody happen to know what the issue is here? I have done some searching around and haven't found anything useful that doesn't involve copying all the files somewhere else.
Ubuntu :: Can't Find TexLive Files For Setting Up Texmaker
May 7, 2010I have installed both TexLive and Texmaker (using the package manager). Now I am trying to set up Texmaker to use TexLive for compiling. Everything I can find online suggests that the files should be located in a location such as this:
Code:
/usr/local/texlive/2005/bin/i386-linux
However, for me the "texlive" folder does not exist within "/usr/local". Where else might the necessary files be located?
Also, running
Code:
tex -version
suggests that TexLive 2009 is installed correctly.

Fedora :: No LaTeX Installation Manager (tlmgr) After Installing TeXLive?
Mar 21, 2011I installed TeXLive on Linux (Fedora 14) but I don't know how to add additional LaTeX packages that are available from CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) easily.

Is there an easy way to install additional Latex packages besides the manual method stated in [URL]..

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Graphic Editing Capabilities Broken With Texlive-2009 Upgrade?
May 9, 2010When I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid, I guess one of those upgrades was the tex engine, it was upgraded to texlive 2009.Though It can render everything I could render beforehand, I am having trouble about one thing. I cannot use the additional preferences that can be used to edit an image when using includegraphics function.
For example:
egin{figure} [H]
centering
includegraphics[width=0.7linewidth,angle=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
end{figure}
Used to rotate my ps file, trim it, then scale it as specified. Now, I get an error:
./Rapor.tex:59:Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted) ...e=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
If there is only [width=linewidth] tex doesn't recognize linewidth and prints:
./Rapor.tex:59:Missing number, treated as zero...includegraphics[width=linewidth]{example.ps}
and the output file has the text within the square brackets, rather than the image.
Somehow there is a problem or a change in how this usage is interpreted. I am using:
usepackage{float}
usepackage{graphicx}
packages that are related to graphics. I'm using Kile 2.0.85, but the problem is editor independent, I get the same results with Texmaker. I am using the exact same .tex sources that I used with Karmic.
What I've tried:
I installed texlive packages from scratch, with Kile.I changed the graphicx.sty file with a version that I found on the net.

Slackware :: Enable Windows Wireless Drivers In Slackware 13.1 And How To Install XFCE
Aug 22, 2010I recently installed Slackware Linux 13.1 , and my Wireless is down. I've only installed 3 Linux disto's on my main laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 , 10.04 , and Crunchbang Linux 9.04 , just had Crunchbang), and they all had the same problem. In all three , I was able to enable Windows Wireless drivers and every thing worked. Now , I'm assuming I have to the same ting in Slackware? Sorry , but I have no idea what my wireless card is. But I know that my laptop is a Dell Insprion E1705. One last thing , I did ifconfig and that wlan0 is my Wi-Fi interface. I typed ifconfig wlan0 up to see if that was the problem. After I did that , I got and error message. Then I typed ifconfig wlan0 down to see if it was down and it made wlan0 down. I tried bringing it up again , but I got an error saying it couldn't find the device specified. Also , how do I install XFCE? I really don't like KDE for some reason and would like to install XFCE. I chose XFCE over GNOME (my favorite) because I want to try something new.

Slackware :: Install Puppy 525 On Slackware 13.37 PC As A Dual-boot Using LILO?
Jul 18, 2011I'm trying to install Puppy 525 on my Slackware 13.37 PC as a dual-boot using LILO. Puppy is living, all on it's own, in sda6, a 6 GiB partition. It got there by using the Puppy Universal Installer and selecting a 'Full' install, not a 'Frugal' install. I cannot find 'LILO' type instructions, only 'GRUB' type instructions.
Has anyone succeeded in doing a hard drive install of Puppy with the LILO boot loader?
Edit: I'll probably regret it, but I used Puppy's GRUB installer.
