General ⇒ Malaylam package by Alex 0.9.6

[suren]

After an update of my Ubuntu my system failed and I had to re-install!
Installed TexLive and the malayalam package by alex (0.9.6)

However, when I compile the file I get an error message /usr/local/bin/mlym: no such file or directory

Has anybody had this experience?

command:

mal test.mm rachana

Here is a very simple example

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[rachana]{malayalam}
\begin{document}
\noindent

<m>namaskAram</m> 

\end{document}

Only instance of the package i was able to find is http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/languag ... ayalam.sty

You have to put the file into yur working directory, or if you need that often, put it in ~/texmf/tex/latex/. You don't have to compile that file.

Thank you, Johannes.
I had a look at the error message. (Unfortunately, I was too shortsighted to have missed that)

The compiler returns

/usr/local/bin/mal : line 93: /usr/local/mlym : No such file or directory. I am not conversant with bash script. Hence, I cannot understand what that means.

Which compiler? There is nothing to compile. Save the linked file into the same folder you documnt is in. Or more cleaner in texmf in you home folder.

Well, I need to reword my reply.
When I run the interpreter on "test.mm" by using the command

mal test.mm rachana

I get that error :

/usr/local/bin/mal : line 93: /usr/local/mlym : No such file or directory

This is an error, which I did not have earlier (before reinstalling my system)

Apparently something has not worked correctly while installing.
