============================================================================= Quick-Install ============================================================================= A more detailed installation instruction is given in the file INSTALL. So, if something goes wrong, please restart from scratch following the more detailed instructions given there. Here is an overview for a typical installation (replace the string 3.0 with the current version identifier everywhere in this document): mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist gzip -dc tetex-texmf.tar.gz \ | (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist; tar xvf -) gzip -dc tetex-src.tar.gz | (umask 022; tar xvf -) cd tetex-src-3.0 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/teTeX >& configure.log make world >& world.log For compiling on a second, third, ... platform, just do for each platform: make distclean ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/teTeX >& configure.log make all >& all.log make install-exec >& install-exec.log Now, make sure to put the newly created binaries into your PATH. Use something like the following, but replace i686-pc-linux-gnu by your actual platform directory: PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH; export PATH or setenv PATH /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH and run texconfig conf and check if all the output looks ok and then run texconfig to configure what you need. If you are setting up a multi user installation, consider running texconfig-texmfmain instead of texconfig. Thomas
