I have seen a lot of weird errors caused by clashes between TL and
residues of teTeX. These clashes are distro dependent and some
incomplete version of teTeX is installed due to dependencies even if
you select not to install it. The safest way is to put the bin path of
TL to the beginning of your PATH as suggested at the end of
installation.
