tetex versus texlive

rdking · 2008-01-03 17:06:31

tetex is outdated and no longer maintained....or so i hear....anyone using texlive?

also, how does one locate the install paths for tetex. i am searching for where to some extra class files, and can't find where things are put.

thanks

A simple forum search for texlive works wonders. Also: pacman -Ql tetex

Actually rdking, when you see the work that Firmicus put into the TexLive repo, you'll be truly amazed.

I've recently switched to texlive and there's nothing to complain about - works even better (includes support for phonetic symbols) than tetex for me and there haven't been any problems so far.
I can only recommend it.

I've used it for a few short papers and plan on using it for my upcoming masters thesis. It seems to work well enough for these tasks.

Hi!

Can anyone post here a small howto to upgrade from tetex to texlive?

Best Regards

Djon

rdking · 2008-01-03 20:23:39

djon, that is also what I am after

wuischke · 2008-01-03 21:16:43

IIRC a

pacman -S texlive-most

will ask you to uninstall tetex and install all necessary packages.

Djon · 2008-01-03 21:53:11

Hi!

Thx, it works fine

Best Regards

Djon

rdking · 2008-01-04 17:49:05

ok,

pacman -S texlive-most, or pacman-S texlive-core or what?

pacman -S texlive-most

That should work just fine.

Try to logout/restart your system and tell us if it works now.

rdking · 2008-01-04 19:41:58

like a charm....thanks....do I have to worry about any of those errors that pacman spit out?

fwojciec · 2008-01-04 19:44:41

texlive is installed in opt so it needs log out/in the first time you install it in order to update the paths. I don't know why the installer posted all those errors though... I would reinstall texlive-most again, just to be sure. It should work fine now that the path is updated.

hramat · 2008-03-12 20:31:37

restart didn't work in my case. I had to add /opt/texlive/bin into PATH in .bashrc
I also added /opt/texlive/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bashrc

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/texlive/bin"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/texlive/lib"
