[opensuse] TeX/LaTeX excutables not found
Hi, I ran into a strange issue on OpenSUSE 10.3. The differen LaTex executables aren't found on my system evn though they are installed. which pdflatex gives me: which: no pdftex in (/opt/kde3/bin:/home/christoph/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin) but ll /usr/bin|grep pdflatex shows me: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 20. Okt 01:59 pdflatex -> ../lib/texmf/bin/i586-linux/pdflatex As a result, none of the TeX/LaTeX related apps work. Any idea how to solve the issue?

That's only a symlink to a symlink, and you haven't checked if the target does exist. /usr/bin/pdflatex -> ../share/texmf/teTeX/bin/i586-linux/pdflatex -> pdfetex which should belong to package "tetex". - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Actually, I found the issue. the package texlive-bin-2007-68.i586.rpm hadn't been installed, even though it had been marked as installed in YaST. Installing it from the command line fixed the issue.
