[Bug 339396] New: texlive should create some useful soft links
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=339396 Summary: texlive should create some useful soft links Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation AssignedTo: ke@novell.com ReportedBy: jchain3@gmail.com QAContact: ke@novell.com Found By: Customer When I use the latest package of texlive, I find the command *latex* and *pdflatex* cannot be used. Even though they are soft links, they are very useful when compile the auctex source code. These soft links should be kept for a long time. *latex* and *pdflatex* should point to /usr/lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/pdftex Thank you! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To solve your problem you may execute the scriptlets by hand for script in /var/lib/texmf/link/x86_64-linux/* ; do /bin/sh $script done nevertheless I'ds like to know *why* this has failed on your system. Do you have installed the RPM's by hand and forgotten or ignored to solve any dependcy (like noarch texlive requires x86_64 texlive-bin)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, these scripts created many necessary symbolic links at /usr/bin, but they didn't create the symbolic links for *latex* and *pdflatex*.

This because the file /var/lib/texmf/link/x86_64-linux/latex should exist: /suse/werner> rpm -qf /var/lib/texmf/link/x86_64-linux/latex texlive-bin-latex-2007-70 and should be executed. If the file /var/lib/texmf/link/x86_64-linux/latex exist please attach it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
