Hi,
Newbie here. Can anyone tell me how to install subject under Ubuntu 10.04? It is provided via a zip file. Where do I extract so latex can find it. I need to run acrotex.ins file. Any help appreciated.

I'm not sure. I've never used this. But the documentation in the zip file says to put it anywhere latex searches.
If this is just for your own personal use (and not something you need to install for all users), I'd create a local LaTeX directory structure in your home directory, called ~/texmf. I'd probably unpack the zip into:
~/texmf/tex/latex/local/acrotex
then open a console, navigate to that folder and run:
sudo texhash
Which should add your local tex tree to latex's searchable path.
And then:
latex acrotex.ins
But I haven't tested any of that. Let us know if it works.

BINGO!
Worked as posted; I forgot sudo texhash
Thank you very, very much.
