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 : $vim .bash_profile and add : PATH=3D/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH; export PATH on top of the file + reboot texlive 2005 doc method : $touch .profile $ echo "export PATH=3D/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH" >> .profile $source .profile=20 redone the same for .bash_profile will try to do it as root. I can only compile in a terminal, if I've type= d PATH=3D/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH; export PATH before i= n the same session. What a pity ! Thanks a lot, Taco, for all your good info --=20 olivier TURLIER
