Hello, first of all thanks for the effort to create a new port with texlive since the old tetex port did not work any more on Crux 2.8. After installing this biggest pkgfile ever (1.7G) I am a bit clueless where to start. I wanted to test it with a simple Latex source file but there is no "latex" command in the port included. I have tried various commands like e.g. pdftex without success. They all output errors. pdftex writes: kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdftex.fmt /usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: //texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found. I can't find the format file `pdftex.fmt'! What am I missing? How can I compile my latex sources with texlive? Regards Markus

Hello, as I don't know which 'part' of livetex you want to use I only will tell you what I did. I installed tetex which inlcudes tex, latex, pdflatex and bibtex. kind regards, Thomas

Hello,

I am referring to the new texlive 2012 port which appeared in opt for Crux 2.8 today. The tetex port has been removed in 2.8 since it did not even compile.
kind regards, Thomas

I have no idea, but the older tetex port had a postinstall script that executes these commands: fmtutil-sys --all updmap-sys My tetex was unusable until I ran these commands and I forget the error messages. I'm not sure if texlive is similar. Ryan

I'm looking into it, but I have little time until after Monday. Any additional findings/information would be welcome. Regards, Danny

Now I got it somehow to work. I have set these environment variables: TEXMFMAIN=/usr/share/texmf TEXMFDIST=/usr/share/texmf-dist TEXMFVAR=/usr/share/texmf-var export TEXMFMAIN export TEXMFDIST export TEXMFVAR It is possibly that one had to set one more variable for the next step, but unfortunately I cannot remember what I did last night exactly. Then I have run "fmtutil-sys --all" as root. This created me a folder /texmf-var. I do not think that this is the correct location for this folder but if it is not there things do not work. Finally I have set a symlink from /usr/bin/pdftex to pdflatex. When calling pdflatex now I can compile my latex sources to pdf. Best regards Markus
