Package installation problem

Post by lilbill »

Hey all. I have TexLive 2008 running on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit using Kile as my editor. I need to use the package dsfont and have installed and reinstalled using tlmgr and rehashed the tree but the file dsfont.sty cannot be found.

Is there anything which I could be forgetting or need to do to help TeX find the package. I've had troubles finding new packages before. Along the same line, are there any TeXLive/Kile environment variables which need to be set?

Thanks in advance,
Lilbill

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Lilbill,

dsfont.sty belongs to the doublestroke package, just install that.
