Hello. I installed Suse 9.2. I am not able to install latex properly because I do not find tetex and telatex either in the installation cds or through the ftp.
I find that hard to believe. Did you search in Yast(->Install new software)? Did you install the utility "pin"? If not do so and pin latex All Suse versions that I installed (7.2, 9.0, 9.3) came with tetex and I had no difficulty whatsoever to install it. But maybe it's only on the DVD.
Moreover I need to use a statistical software called R; although I downloaded the rpm precisely for the 9.2 version, there is an error in the compilation because a library called libg2c is missing!
On 9.3 it's on the DVD and part of the fortran77 package: pin 0.30 - package info for libg2c ------------------------------------------------------------------ *** no rpm named libg2c installed ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ *** zgrep libg2c /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------ ./DVD1/suse/i586/gcc-g77-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 348982 Mar 19 19:33 /usr/lib/libg2c.a ./DVD1/suse/i586/gcc-g77-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 726 Mar 19 19:36 /usr/lib/libg2c.la ./DVD1/suse/i586/gcc-g77-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 19 19:33 /usr/lib/libg2c.so -> libg2c.so.0.0.0 ./DVD1/suse/i586/gcc-g77-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 19 19:33 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 -> libg2c.so.0.0.0 ./DVD1/suse/i586/gcc-g77-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122652 Mar 19 19:36 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0.0.0 And a truckload of entries for the 64 bit architecture.
