Problem with vanilla Texlive installation on Debian (Probably with dummy equivs)












0















I have some problem with my installation of Texlive Vanilla 2018 on my Debian Stretch.



Everything going well during installation but when I am trying to use Texmaker or LyX, they don't work and don't find any package.



At the end of the vanilla installation, I have tested that everything working well with :




tex --version



latex sample2e.tex



xdvi sample2e.dvi



pdflatex sample2e.tex




following this page :
https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-fr/texlive-fr.html#x1-350003.4



And I obtain the right pdf and everything was fine with this method.



So, I think that there is a problem with the equivs dummy package or with the PATH.



In LyX, all the document class are unavailable and in TeXmaker, the command: "pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex" is not working.



I already succeed to install Texlive Vanilla on my previous computer on Debian Stretch (With texlive2016 1 years ago) but it was difficult too. This time I don't see any solution. The Vanilla Texlive is my nightmares with Debian using.



Is there a particularity with the 2018 teXlive Vanilla ?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! So you could compile the sample file but not your own code? If yes it could help to see your code, as minimal working example.

  • How exactly did you add the tl18 path? Who exactly are you starting texmaker or LyX? Command line or via a menu?

  • I can compile if I use the sample in the terminal. But I can't compile anything with teXmaker or LyX I have used : export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH export MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH export INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/info:$INFOPATH I start Texmaker and Lyx via the toolbar (not sure of the english word), i am using XFCE on Debian.

This is a problem of PATH setup. According to your comment you are using



export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH


which is fine for a terminal session, but not for the GUI you are using. If you are on Debian, you will need to do something else, there are two ways:




  • (for all users) either you set the PATH globally in /etc/profile.d/texlive.sh where you put the three export lines you mentioned

  • (only for you) add the three export lines to $HOME/.xsessionrc which is sourced


After one of these changes and re-logging in the GUI environment should have a PATH setting including the local TL, and the TeX GUIs should pick it up automatically.
