Ubuntu :: Can't Find TexLive Files For Setting Up Texmaker
May 7, 2010
I 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.
I have run my files on windows using latex and winedit as editor and miktex as compiler. When I installed Texmaker in ubuntu 10.10 I was not able to run those file that have already been run in windows. Is there any configuration that should I do to make these files compatible for texmaker? or what should I do? By the way, I am not preferring to change from texmaker, but if there is any similar editor better than that , please let me know. What is the compiler that is working in Texmaker, and is it true that it is being installed with Ubuntu its self.
I 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.
I 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?
I don't know why this happen. In Slackware 13 it worked fine.
This is the output:
Code: QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. (process:4870): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2458: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:4870): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed
I am trying to install a package called "mhchem" to use in texmaker on ubuntu but having trouble. I downloaded the .sty file but cannot seem to do anything with it. I also tries using terminal to download and install by typing:
sudo latex mhchem.sty I get an error messsage advising "i cannot find file 'mhchem.sty' Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this? I am using LaTeX for writing my PhD thesis and was originally using Texnic Centre on Windows on which mhchem worked fine.
I am trying to do a find/grep/wc command to find matching files, print the filename and then the word count of a specific pattern per file. Here is my best (non-working) attempt so far:
Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.
I'm new on these forums (and to Linux generally); I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question. If not, I'd appreciate it if one of the mods could move it to where it belongs. OK, so I've already install my TeX system on Ubuntu 9.10 by means of the TeXLive 2008 DVD. Now, I want to install LyX with
Code: sudo apt-get install lyx It then asks me to install the following packages:
I just recently upgraded Karmic 32 bit to 64 bit (as I wish to have the full functionality of my 64 bit system). Unfortunately, I now cannot seem to install Thunderbird or TeXlive.When I go to the terminal and try to install this is what I get:
The find command does not seem to find all files in my directory hierarchy. My home directory is automounted from a server. The command to illustrate this is:find | sed -e 's/^.///' | sed -e 's//.*//' | sort -uThe result misses several directories. Likewise, a find of a particular file, like:find . -iname *sample* -printwhere sample_file.txt resides in one of the directories that is missing in the first find command, finds nothing
I know how to search for normal files but can you let me know " How to search for 5 setuid files on the system. Also explain, for each file, why setuid mechanism is necessary for the command to function properly"
I'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.
I'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.
compiling 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.
is texlive package exits in fedora 12 ?i haven't found it.in previous release of fedora i was just installing kile and latex was working but in fedora 12 i think that tex doesn't exist.i wanna to know if it exist or not
I noticed in my system that my root partition is getting full. I found a lot of old compacted syslogfiles. Had a look at etc/sysconfig editor eg cron but could not find a setting which allows to delete files older than a month. Where and how could I influence this ? I deleted manually all syslog files older than a month. Approx 6GB
The problem I have is that I need to replace a more complex string, like this: Old string: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/627896/982574/ New string: /mnt/stor8-wc2-dfw1/369587/302589/ There I don't know how to do it... since the / is what separates the old from the new strings, and the strings that I want to replace have / in it. Also, I would like to know how to specify under what folder replace the files, for example, I want that it search/replaces all files under /var/www/mysite/htdocs folder.
I (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?
Is there anyone whose residence is in Hong Kong? I am trying to installing TeXLive 2010 through web-installation, and the source is in [URL] but the download speed is too low, sometime it even quit installation. Can I use some command to force the installing program to use another source?
can get TexLive 2010 for Fedora using a special yum repository at [URL] What yum commands should one use to install it? Does it automatically replace the default Fedora TexLive 2007 installation?
I have the "publishing" repo enabled. Today I received an update to texlive (to version 2010-37.1) and almost all the documentclasses disappeared! Not even the article documentclass is available!
EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm using openSUSE 11.2 64 bits.
