TeX Live and MacTeX ⇒ »ulem« in TeX Live

[mpw]

Hello guys,

I want to use the function \dashuline or \dotuline from the package ulem.

My system hast ulem installed, but can't find the Definition of dashuline or dotuline.

So I looked into my ulem.sty and the Definition of those are missing there!?

I installed texlive from the Ubuntu 10.04 repositories. Does texlive not support ulem? Are there alternate packages?

Thanks for hints,

Bye

The version of the ulem package in TeX Live 2009 is outdated (26.05.2000). Get the current version for an update.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hello,

Thanks!

How do I do that? Just installed Latex via the repositories. Do I just have to replace the ulem.sty by a newer one?

Where can I get it from?

As root user you can do a manual installation in the local tree of your TeX system

Code: Select all

/usr/local/share/texmf

Replacement in the default installation tree should also be possible. Or you can build up a directory tree compliant to the TeX Directory Structure (TDS) standard in your home directory.

Code: Select all

/home/<user>/texmf

The directory structure downwards has to be the same.
