[SOVLED]A problem while installing TeXlive

i used "pacman -S texlive-most" to get texlive
but there're so many errors while installing, like this:
...
/opt/texlive/bin/texconfig-sys: line 23: kpsewhich: command not found
/opt/texlive/bin/texconfig-sys: line 24: kpsewhich: command not found
/opt/texlive/bin/texconfig-sys: line 30: exec: texconfig: not found
/opt/texlive/bin/updmap-sys: line 23: kpsewhich: command not found
/opt/texlive/bin/updmap-sys: line 24: kpsewhich: command not found
/opt/texlive/bin/updmap-sys: line 30: exec: updmap: not found
...
these are just a few of all errors
why?
and how to solve?

Re: [SOVLED]A problem while installing TeXlive

You have to add /opt/texlive/bin into PATH in .bashrc:

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

Re: [SOVLED]A problem while installing TeXlive

You have to add /opt/texlive/bin into PATH in .bashrc:

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

You don't. Texlive installs /etc/profile/texlive.sh which sets the path automatically on login. Therefore, all you need to do is to log out and back in (or source /etc/profile/texlive.sh if you need it before you can log out).
