Re: Transparent colors in pstricks
No, it doesn't matter where you put them, as long as kpathsearch can find them. For Ubuntu and TeXLive, try to create a texmf directory in your home folder and to extract the archive there. Then you should have directories like ~/texmf/doc and ~/texmf/tex. If that is the case, there is normally nothing else to do. You should never make changes inside of /usr/share directly because your changes will be overwritten by the package manager. If you really want a global installation (for all users), use the local texmf tree: /usr/local/share/texmf. But I would recommend your user texmf tree, as mentioned above: You don't have to be root to install the packages, and you don't have to update a filename database.

Transparent colors in pstricks
no, the beginning of the tree is /usr/share/texmf-texlive/jotacebusta wrote:Thanks again Herbert, so I did:
kpsewhich pstricks.tex
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/pstricks/pstricks.tex
That means that I have to put all the contents of PSTricks-TDS in the /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic directory?
In the TDS-tarzip all files are saved relative to this directory.
The latex files went into /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/...
the generic (TeX)-files into /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/...
the doc files into /usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/...
and so on.
